According to The Georgia Straight, he is recovering in Vancouver General Hospital.

Born John Ruskin, Nardwuar, 47, has been an icon in music interviewing in his native Vancouver, British Columbia. Since the ’90s, he’s been showcasing his skills and most recently has grown a huge following on YouTube. His method of giving interviewees retro vinyls and trinkets from their hometowns sparks pure excitement and leads to never-before-heard stories, making him such an asset to the music-media industry.

Watch one of Nardwuar’s best interviews with Odd Future above. We wish him a speedy recovery.
