Rocker Rushed to the Hospital

Lou Reed is recovering from a liver transplant.

East Hampton emergency medical services volunteers were summoned to the house of Lou Reed, the legendary rocker behind the Velvet Underground, on Sunday, according to The New York Post.

The 71-year-old singer-songwriter received a liver transplant in the late spring, but that didn't stop him from performing 10 days ago.
