Radio and television writer, famed journalist Andy Rooney, who bid farewell to 60 Minutes last month at the age of 92, suffered serious complications after a minor surgery last week.
Luckily, Andy Rooney is now said to be in stable condition. He remains hospitalized.
Rooney family asks that their privacy be respected at this difficult time.
Andy Rooney began his essay segment for the show back in July 1978, and Jeff Fager, chairman of CBS News and the executive producer of 60 Minutes, was sad to see him go.
'There's nobody like Andy and there never will be. He'll hate hearing this, but he's an American original,' he said. 'His contributions to 60 Minutes are immeasurable.'
Andy Rooney's also a great friend. It's harder for him to do it every week, but he will always have the ability to speak his mind on 60 Minutes when the urge hits him.'
Here's wishing Andy Rooney a speedy and full recovery.
