A few weeks ago, Kathy Griffin revealed that she has stage 1 lung cancer and was going to have surgery to remove part of her lung. Since then, her voice has been hoarse. Therefore, she is working with a vocal coach to get it back.
While her speaking voice is weak, her singing one could shatter a chandelier because it sounds exactly like Sia’s. It is probably because Sia is her vocal coach. What do you think?
On Monday, Kathy Griffin revealed that she has lung cancer and was going under the knife that day to remove half of her lung.
As she was in the operating room, an interview she did with Nightline aired. In that interview, she revealed that was she has been addicted to prescription pills and attempted suicide a year ago.
Today, she gave an update on how she is doing after her operation. “To be honest, this cancer surgery was a little more than I had anticipated,” she wrote. “Tonight will be my first night without any narcotic pain killers. Hello Tylenol, my new best friend! The last time I was in a hospital was in June 2020 when I tried to take my life and overdosed on prescription pills. With over a year clean and drug free, I now know I can do this and anything I want without those devil pills. You know what? I fear drugs and addiction more than I fear cancer. So, I think I’ll be ok.”
Hopefully, in a few weeks, she will regain her strength so she can scream at the top of her one and a half lungs that she is cancer-free.
Before Kathy Griffin made herself known with her loud voice, she did it via a kazoo for the Chicago White Sox. You can totally recognize the 18-year-old in that 1978 commercial.
Kathy Griffin announced today that she is going under the knife because she was diagnosed with lung cancer.
“I’ve got to tell you guys something. I have cancer. I’m about to go into surgery to have half of my left lung removed. Yes, I have lung cancer even though I’ve never smoked! The doctors are very optimistic as it is stage one and contained to my left lung. Hopefully no chemo or radiation after this and I should have normal function with my breathing,” she wrote. “I should be up and running around as usual in a month or less. It’s been a helluva 4 years, trying to get back to work, making you guys laugh and entertaining you, but I’m gonna be just fine. Of course I am fully vaccinated for Covid. The consequences for being unvaccinated would have been even more serious. Please stay up to date on your medical check ups. It’ll save your life.”
Griffin lost her older brother Gary in 2014 and sister Joyce in 2017 to cancer. She also lost her mother to dementia last year. Hopefully, this will be the last awful thing she has to deal with, and she becomes cancer-free today and remains that way for the rest of her long life.
When it comes to getting checkups, she is 100% right. If you have not been to your doctor since before the pandemic, make an appointment today.
Kathy Griffin started off 2020 in a knot as in tying it. The actress married her boyfriend, Randy Bick, and Lily Tomlin officiated the ceremony. Since you need a witness Tomlin’s wife, Jane Wagner served as that and a heckler. Because that is what every comedian needs at their nuptials.
According to People, the couple started dating in 2011 and have found a way to make their 8-year age difference work. Can you guess who is older?
Good thing Griffin does not have that NYE job anymore. If she did, then she would not have gotten married today. At least not at midnight.
