Judith is being treated in a Melbourne hospital after suffering a brain haemorrhage after her show on May 14.
According to The Seekers Facebook page, “Judith was shown the video in her hospital room and was thrilled and very humbled by the love and concern shown to her by the iconic Australian group, of whom she is a huge fan”.
Her manager Graham Simpson last updated fans on Judith’s condition one week ago. “Judith is now in the Rehabilitation Unit at Epworth Hospital in Melbourne and has begun an active rehabilitation program,” he said.
“When I visited her at the weekend she was in excellent spirits, and keen to progress with her treatment. Yesterday, we had an hour-long conversation about the forthcoming compilation album to be released by Universal Music to celebrate Judith’s 70th birthday in July – 23 tracks from her five decades of recording, including several that have never been available on CD before, as well as two newly-recorded tracks.
“Judith talked of the loving care and support she continues to receive from the wonderful team at Epworth, and the flowers, cards and letters she has received from so many thoughtful people all over the world.
“She has asked me to pass on her love and gratitude to every one of you”.
The Seekers were midway through their 50th Anniversary Golden Jubilee Tour when Judith fell ill. The remainder of the tour has been postponed.
