Is Little Richard okay

I'm reading stuff on my FB about him being sick, and could die any day. Saying he has an undisclosed disease, illness.

This. Plus Bootsy Collins tweeted that he needs the fan's prayers.

.

Apparently Richard's been in a wheelchair since a 2009 hip surgery that "went awry". He also suffered a heart attack, by his own admission, just a few short years ago. There are details in the linked article.

A quick Google search brings up stories saying he only has a few days left. Its such a shame when people of his calibre die but he's lived a good and full life and I hope he is at least comfortable in his final days. I know he's very religious so hopefully his beliefs are of some comfort to him.

Little Richard and Chuck Berry are 50s Rock n Roll stars living in their 80s...

Michael Jackson and Prince are 80s Rock n Roll stars who died in their 50s ...
