Rick Springfield Discovers Long-Term Brain Damage From 2000 Concert Fall

The 75-year-old musician learned of the injury during a recent full-body MRI scan, decades after the onstage accident.

Rick Springfield recently found out he sustained brain damage from a 25-foot fall during a 2000 Las Vegas concert, previously thought to have only caused a broken wrist.
The discovery was made during a Prenuvo whole-body MRI scan, prompting Springfield to pursue methods to address the lasting effects of the injury.
The singer credits his father's death from an undiagnosed ulcer as a key influence on his proactive approach to health and medical checkups.
Springfield has made significant lifestyle changes in recent years, including daily exercise, a mostly pescatarian diet, and reduced alcohol consumption.
He has also explored mental health treatments, such as ketamine and LSD, to address long-standing depression, though he remains cautious about their effectiveness.
