Rick Springfield recently found out that a bad fall he took in 2000 resulted in brain damage. The 75-year-old "Jessie's Girl" singer has revealed that after getting a whole-body MRI scan he was told that he still has lasting brain damage from an on-stage tumble during a Las Vegas show 25 years ago.
"I fell 25 feet, hit my head and then wood came down and hit my head, and then my head hit the stage again," Springfield said of the nasty fall. "I thought I had just broken my wrist, but on the scan, I found out I have some brain damage from the fall, so I'm working on trying to repair that." Unlike most people, who Springfield said "don't want to know what's wrong with them," the singer and former soap opera star said he's the "opposite."
And with good reason.
