Nardwuar The Human Serviette Has Stroke In Vancouver

Nardwuar is one of Canada's most prominent music journalists.

Nardwuar the Human Serviette, one of Canada's most prominent music journalists, is recovering from a stroke in his hometown of Vancouver.

The personality, known for his quirky and well-researched interviews with major artists, suffered the health episode at a Christmas party for Mint Records on Saturday.

He's now recuperating at Vancouver General Hospital.

Nardwuar has made a name for himself as a knowledgable journalist who's interviewed a wide variety of musicians, including Snoop Dogg.

But some of his most famous sit-downs (or swing-arounds) are with Canadian politicians.

Nardwuar spoke with former prime minister Jean Chretien after protesters were pepper-sprayed at the APEC conference at UBC in 1997.

Nardwuar has also done the now-famous "hip-flip" with a handful of Canadian leaders, including Chretien, Paul Martin, and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

The journalist received an outpouring of well-wishes on social media as he recovers.
