"On Wednesday, April 17th our beloved son/father, John Singleton, suffered a stroke while at the hospital," the statement reads. Prayers up for your family as well 🙏🏾🙏🏾 —@omarepps Wishing Director John Singleton (age 51) a speedy recovery from his stroke.

An occasion, perhaps, for the rest of us to be amazed that human physiology works at all. Singleton's recent projects include the TV series Snowfall, a crime drama set in 1980s Los Angeles.
