Several other outlets have confirmed the news, and according to Page Six: “His condition was worrying, but once back in the hospital he improved.” It has also been reported that his wife, Deborah Roberts, was quick to follow his ambulance back to the hospital from their Upper East Side home.
Al is typically very active on his Instagram page, posting daily updates for his fans about his life, though his last post is from nearly a week ago.
The heartfelt photo is from Thanksgiving, during which he was able to reunite with his family, including his wife, his son Nick, and his two daughters, Courtney and Leila.
