Yoko Ono, the widow of the late former Beatle John Lennon, was admitted to a New York City hospital on Friday after complaining of severe flu-like symptoms, her spokesperson said.

Spokesman Elliot Mintz said that the 83-year-old Yoko Ono would be released from the hospital on Saturday.

Ono had called her doctor, with symptoms of flu. The doctor advised her to go to the hospital as a precaution, Mintz said.

Ono’s career as an artist has spanned over more than five decades. In 2015, the Museum of Modern Art in New York marked her achievements with an exhibition of her early works showing how her ideas influenced the development of art in the city in the 1960s.

She is also an experimental musician and film-maker, who was once described by Lennon as “the world’s most famous unknown artist: Everybody knows her name but nobody knows what she does.”
