Ever since Godfather of Go-Go Chuck Brown was hospitalized recently, no one has been sure what he was actually suffering from. (One thing is clear, though—he’s not dead.) Today the Post nails it down—Brown has pneumonia:

On Monday, Brown’s daughter, KK Brown, finally raised the curtain on his condition. “He has pneumonia,” she said in a brief interview, adding that he’s been hospitalized for two months. “He is in the hospital, he is recovering and people need to just keep praying for him.”

KK Brown, who performs in her father’s band, declined to provide additional details. But according to sources close to the family, Chuck Brown was admitted to a hospital complaining of arthritis, and doctors discovered and removed a blood clot in an unspecified area of his body. As he recovered from the operation, the sources said, Brown contracted pneumonia, which continues to keep him on the sidelines of the music scene he helped transform.

After initially postponing a show at the Howard Theatre at the end of April, Brown was said to have been complaining of “joint pain and inflammation.” That show has been rescheduled for June 29; Brown has put off all his May performances. The Post reports that the music hasn’t stopped altogether, though—Brown’s band performed over the weekend in Landover without him.
