Dr. Dre says he had 3 strokes while in hospital for brain aneurysm: "Makes you appreciate being alive"

Dr. Dre said he endured three strokes while he was hospitalized for a brain aneurysm in January 2021. 

"It's just something that you can't control that just happens, and during those two weeks, I had three strokes," the rapper and producer told James Corden last week in an interview. 

"I got up, and I went on about my day, and I thought that I could just lay down and take a nap," Dr. Dre recounted on SiriusXM's "This Life of Mine with James Corden," adding that a friend of his son's who was with him said they needed to go to the hospital.
