Channel Entertainment Senior VP DONALD DELL, 66, hopes to be released
from a London hospital this week after suffering an aneurysm on his aorta during
the Wimbledon fortnight. SFX spokesperson AUDREY DENOFRIO said that during
the middle of the second week of Wimbledon, Dell began to experience stomach
pains. A hospital initially diagnosed it the flu, but Dell later called his
personal physician, who advised him to get a CAT scan. The scan showed the aneurysm,
and he underwent emergency surgery July 1. He is feeling well and expects to
make a full recovery. Dell's firm, ProServ, was acquired in '99 by SFX Sports
Group, and Dell remains active advising SFX' tennis division (THE DAILY).
