Dr Dre is in the ICU after suffering a brain aneurysm, according to TMZ.

The rapper and record producer, who is 55, suffered the aneurysm on Monday and was rushed to Cedars Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, sources told the website.

Doctors say they don't know what caused the bleeding but are performing a series of tests to uncover the cause.

High blood pressure is the leading cause of a subarachnoid haemorrhage and heavy lifting or strain can cause the aneurysm to rupture.

Fellow N.W.A. member Ice Cube took to Twitter to offer good will: 'Send your love and prayers to the homie Dr. Dre,' he wrote.
