Heart is in the middle of their Royal Flush Tour. They had just finished the first leg of the tour in America and were going to head to Europe at the end of June. I said that in the past tense because that is no longer happening.
The band released the following statement: “We regret to inform you that all upcoming Heart performances in Europe are canceled.
“In late May, Ann Wilson will undergo a time-sensitive but routine medical procedure for which the minimum recovery time is six weeks.
“Heart deeply regrets this unfortunate circumstance and hopes to return to Europe soon. Refunds will be available at point of purchase as applicable.”
Obviously, fans are worried about Ann, and she released her own statement, “I’m okay! Please don’t worry. I do apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. It’s certainly an inconvenience for me. Love & respect always, Ann”
Hopefully, the surgery will go well, and she will be able to resume the tour with her sister on August 23rd in Cleveland.
Christian LeBlanc has been missing from The Young and the Restless, and now we know why. The actor told WWL-TV he was diagnosed with the blood cancer Myeloma in June, but he is in remission.
The Y&R star started to notice his left eye was a little wonky, and he was rapidly losing weight. Even the fans began to notice that there was something wrong with his eye, so they reached out to him.
So he went to the eye doctor, who told him to go to a neurological specialist. That is when they noticed that he had a tumor in his nasal passage that was pressing against his optic nerve.
And that was the first time he spent any time in the hospital in his 65 years. Now that he is in remission. Hopefully, it will be his last visit to one.
LeBlanc will return to the CBS soap on Thanksgiving.
About two weeks ago, Mary Lou Retton’s daughter, McKenna Kelley, announced that her mom was in a hospital ICU, fighting for her life with a rare form of pneumonia.
Today, Kelley gave an update on her mom. She wrote, “Mom is HOME & in recovery mode. We still have a long road of recovery ahead of us, but baby steps.
“We are overwhelmed with the love and support from everyone. Grateful doesn’t scrape the surface of the posture of our hearts.
“Thank you Jesus, thank you doctors & nurses, thank you to this loving community of support.”
Hopefully, the gold-medal olympian will be better soon! As we know, she is a fighter! So I can’t wait to see her smile that goes from ear to ear.
Mary Lou Retton is one of the most beloved Olympians of the 20th century. And today, she needs our prayers.
Her daughter, McKenna Lane Kelly, started a spotfund and explained why. “My amazing mom, Mary Lou, has a very rare form of pneumonia and is fighting for her life. She is not able to breathe on her own. She’s been in the ICU for over a week now. Out of respect for her and her privacy, I will not disclose all details. However, I will disclose that she is not insured.
“We ask that if you could help in any way, that 1) you PRAY! and 2) if you could help us with finances for the hospital bill.
“ANYTHING, absolutely anything, would be so helpful for my family and my mom. Thank y’all so very much!”
I pray that she recovers from her pneumonia and is breathing on her own shortly.
When it comes to her not being insured, America sucks when it comes to healthcare. She should be insured for being someone who represented our country in the Olympics. But more importantly, she should be insured because she is a human being. We need to do better.
