So, at the time of her death she was Little Old Marcy Tigner, then?

Had to cancel my upcoming Australia tour due to some health issues. Can't leave the country until I have a major surgery. Doc says I will make a full recovery so think good thoughts for me everyone. Bobby

 

 

Update from Bobby Rydell's facebook page

"I recently underwent a double organ transplant (kidney & liver) after a long battle. My life donor saved many lives, myself being just one. I am alive today because of the value one grieving family placed on life. My hearts go out to them. My doctors tell me I am doing extraordinarily well and I expect to have a full recovery. I hope to be back on stage as soon as the Doctors say I can, you all know me…that’s my home.

 

Many of you have said prayers and sent messages of support over this difficult time for us and I thank you from the bottom of my heart, it meant everything to me.

 

Bobby Rydell"

Not yet according to his own website.

 

1. A bit more research before posting.

2. Twitter isn't the most reliable source

3. If he is dead, good spot.
