AHMET ERTEGUN IN A COMA
Atlantic Records founder Ahmet Ertegun is fighting for his life in a coma after falling at a Rolling Stones gig.
Ertegun, 83, slipped and hit his head backstage while the band were playing at former US President Bill Clinton's 60th birthday party in New York .
Ertegun, whose record label signed acts including Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones, Ray Charles and Aretha Franklin, was put into an induced coma before being taken to hospital.
A representative for The Rolling Stones says doctors were at first worried Ertegun would not survive. However, the mogul's condition has since stabilized and he has showed signs of recovery.
