Matthew Sweet Faces Long Recovery After Stroke During Tour

The '90s alt-rocker suffered a debilitating stroke in Toronto, prompting a GoFundMe campaign to cover his medical expenses.

Matthew Sweet, known for hits like 'Girlfriend,' experienced a stroke on October 12 while touring with Hanson.
The musician was initially treated in Toronto before being moved to a rehabilitation facility in Omaha, Nebraska.
A GoFundMe campaign has been launched to raise $400,000 for Sweet's medical care, as he lacks insurance and touring income.
Over $342,000 has already been raised with contributions from notable figures such as Judd Apatow and John Mayer.
Sweet's extensive rehabilitation will include six weeks of intensive therapy followed by months of additional treatment.
