Gallagher Suffers Heart Attack
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/03/15/gallagher-suffers-heart-a_n_1347484.html
UPDATE: 3:29 p.m. -- Gallagher's manager, Christine Scherrer, has told The Huffington Post that the comedian is currently in an induced coma and will remain so for the next 24 hours to relax and recover. She said his family is with him and, according to his doctors, all signs are good.
His performance dates for this weekend and next have been rescheduled but upcoming dates remain in place. Scherrer also said that Gallagher has been in excellent health since his previous heart attack last year and this is the first incident that time.
On Wednesday night, Gallagher did a meet-and-greet with his fans prior to his scheduled show at Hat Tricks in Lewisville, Texas, and suffered a heart attack in his green room before taking the stage.
According to his management company Too Fun Promotions, Gallagher, the iconic and often polarizing comedian who made a name for himself by smashing watermelons with a sledge hammer during his shows, is currently hospitalized after suffering a heart attack.
