LOS ANGELES – Joni Mitchell has made a rare public appearance at a concert in Los Angeles, over a year after suffering an aneurysm.

In a photo on Mitchell’s official website, the reclusive Canadian folk legend is seen at Saturday’s Chick Corea concert at the Catalina Bar and Grill in Los Angeles.

She’s seated at a table with Corea as well as Gayle Moran Corea and Herbie Hancock, who is clasping Mitchell’s hand.

Mitchell looks elegant in a wide-brimmed black hat, black dress and shawl.

“We are thrilled to see Joni out and about again!” says the website posting.

Mitchell, 72, was admitted to a Los Angeles hospital in March 2015 for what was later revealed to be an aneurysm.

The native of Fort Macleod, Alta., has received eight Grammy Awards, including a lifetime achievement award in 2002. She was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1997.
