Were you one of the many who couldn’t stop MmmBopping back in 1997? Or were you one of the many who couldn’t wait for the pop music summer to end, particularly if you shared a house with Hanson fans. A girlfriend of mine had a Hanson obsessed sister, who had her room broken into and her Hanson CD’s stolen. The police’s response – “We’re looking for criminals with bad taste in music.”

I had (still have) at least one Hanson CD, my guilty pleasure that might still gets a spin or two, and I am devastated to hear that eldest brother is in hospital.

Isaac Hanson, 26, was taken to Baylor University Medical Center in Dallas on Tuesday night after a show at the House of Blues. A nursing supervisor said Hanson was in stable condition Wednesday night.

Dallas-Fort Worth television station KDFW reported he was diagnosed with a pulmonary embolism, which occurs when a blood clot in the extremities breaks away and travels to the lungs.

Hanson’s brother, Taylor, told the television station that his brother was doing well.

“We appreciate thoughts and prayers that have been out there for him,” he said by phone from Tulsa, Okla., the band’s hometown. “We want the tour to go on, so you know we are working steadfastly to see how long he’s going to need to rest.”

Isaac and wife Nicole welcomed their first child Clarke into the world in April. Our thoughts go out to his family, friends and fans.

The band’s Tulsa concert, which is also their hometown, has been canceled.

Update by Celebitchy: Isaac Hanson is said to be in stable condition as of last night.
