*We’ve just leaned of the hospitalization of Dick Gregory. The news about the 84-year-old legendary comedian/activist was posted on Facebook by his son, Christian Gregory.

Even though he wasn’t specific as to what his father is ailing from or where he is hospitalized, but here’s what Christian shared:

My father, Dick Gregory remains hospitalized with a serious but stable medical condition. His prognosis is excellent and he should be released within the next few days.

After feeling ill last Wednesday (August 9th), Mr. Gregory was taken to the hospital. He was evaluated, treated and released. Showing only minimal improvement we returned him to the hospital Saturday (August 12) he was evaluated and admitted. Balancing a fine line between privacy and his friends and fans (who are his extended family) right to know. We have and will always gladly and freely share this gift with the world.
