Frank Sinatra Hospitalized for Treatment of Pinched Nerve

Frank Sinatra was hospitalized Friday for treatment of a pinched nerve, his publicist said.

The legendary singer, who will be 81 next month, was in Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Beverly Hills undergoing tests, said publicist Susan Reynolds. He probably will remain there for a day or two, she said.

“It’s a pinched nerve, that’s all there is,” Reynolds said, declining to elaborate. “It’s important to say he’s in good spirits, talking, walking and has a good appetite.”

Hospital spokesman Ron Wise said, “It doesn’t seem to be anything to be alarmed over.”
