Kinks guitarist is hospitalized

Dave Davies, one of the founding members of the British rock group the Kinks, has been partially paralyzed by a stroke he suffered in June, his spokesman said.

Spokesman Alan Robinson said Davies, 57, would have to spend at least another month in the hospital but that doctors were confident that with physiotherapy he would recover.

“He is paralyzed on the right-hand side of his body but he retains some feeling and he can still hold a guitar plectrum,” Robinson said Monday. “Davies collapsed June 30 while promoting his new solo album, “Bug.”
