Al B. Sure Talks About His Two-Month Coma After Finally Recording

After waking up from a two-month coma and taking the time to heal, Al B. Sure finally opened up about one of the most traumatic times of his life in an interview with FOX 5 New York.

Sis2Sis reported that Al B.’s son informed the world that his father had been in a coma for two months.

In July, the singer, Albert Joseph Brown III, was rushed to the hospital. He recalled being placed in a wheelchair and hospital bed, but when he woke up, it was October.

“This is July 2022, and then it was October,” he said. “I was intubated. I was on a ventilator. Had a tracheotomy. There were many things going on to the point where they were considering sending me to hospice.”

Before being rushed to the hospital, Al B. was a singer who broke into the industry in the ’80s, winning his first American Music Award for “Best New Artist” in 1989. With success came a new life that impacted the singer’s weight. He reached 309 pounds.

“As time progresses, your life changes,” Al B. said. “Your lifestyle changes. More steak dinners. More late nights in the studio. After a while, the lifestyle changes, and the metabolism does as well.”

His weight impacted his health, causing Quincy Jones to tell him to get his “act together” and lose weight. N”Hey, man,” the 54-year-old singer recalled Jones saying. “I need you to live, man. You’ve got stuff to do. You have things to accomplish and things to do, but we need you around to do them. So, get your act together.”

The singer underwent weight loss surgery that made him feel better. However, things went downhill when he found himself collapsing in a recording studio. He made an Instagram post about his health scare.

“As I sat in front of the computer, I began to lose feeling on the entire left side of my body and fell over to the side,” he said in the post. “Fortunately, my phone was within reach, and I was able to call for assistance.”

After a liver organ transplant, blood transfusions, removal of his lymph nodes and other extensive surgeries, the “Off on Your Own” singer is much better.

Al B. plans on making more music, sharing his story in a memoir and starting a podcast.

“If I can influence or help or inspire someone else, I did my job,” the singer-songwriter said.
