Ono, 83, was married to Beatle John Lennon until his death in 1980.

“Her doctor thought it would be a good idea for her to get checked,” Mintz said. He denied media reports that she suffered a stroke.

Ono Lennon tweeted Saturday about his mother: “Thanks again for everyone’s concern. She’s home and running about as usual. Just the flu in the end.”

Ono has won two Grammys — one as an artist and producer, and the other as a video producer.

This month, she is exhibiting “Land of Hope,” which comprises 19 pieces of her artwork in Mexico City’s Memory and Tolerance Museum. The interactive exhibit promotes peace.
