According to a message posted on his Facebook page, he hosted two back-to-back shows at the Wolf Trap National Park for the Performing Arts in Vienna, Virginia, on Friday before suffering from a medical emergency.
Keillor said he "Flew to Mayo to get checked out and saw an MRI image of my skull with a black hole where a previous stroke struck close to the language center of the brain, so I came away feeling vastly fortunate."
When he was discharged from the Mayo Clinic, Keillor said went home to St. Paul, Minnesota, and then boarded a flight to Atlanta, Georgia, to host a show at the Fox Theater, according to David O'Neill, Prairie Home Companion publicist.
This is the second seizure for the radio icon. He suffered another one within the past year, according to O'Neil. "He (the doctor) put me on an anti-convulsant that makes me feel lethargic but I intend to fight this," he said on Facebook.
Keillor has five upcoming live shows left on his tour and says he wants them all to be "terrific."
He insists he has plenty of time for lethargy -- in August.
