A friend of mine recieved some very sad news today.

It seems Mr Kenny Baker (R2D2) was taken ill earlier this week and is in a coma in a UK hospital.

One of my favourite Star Wars Charaters and a friend to the community.

My thoughts and prayers are with Kenny and his family right now :( Get Well soon Kenny!
 
Could you provide any more details, to corroborate the veracity of the information? A news link or how your friend is connected?

Kenny is well connected with the 501st UK Garrison and the friend who broke the news to us on the UK boards is a friend of Kenny's family and a time-served 501st member.
 
Wow! He and his lady friend were just with Carida in Pittsburgh PA for Steel City Con. He was his normal jovial self all weekend. I do hope and pray all goes well for him.

I think maybe you should have that info rechecked..... We just spoke with Ben Stevens, runs Official Pix and all the Con here is Dallas...and he just said that Kenny was returning from a show here in the U.S and fell ill on the plane...and was sent to the hospital by the Airline.......BUT good news is he was released yesterday and is now at home...This is according to his Agent DIRECTLY.(y)


(Philip Wise provided me with this information)
 
Oh man, my sister was just on a plane sitting with Kenny and his partner two days ago going into Chicago. She said he hardly spoke, looked terrible, and had to have oxygen at the airport.

He still wanted to press on at the time though because he was supposed to have a meet and greet with some of his fans there and was really looking forward to seeing them. Hope your info is right Spidey and that he is doing better.

Philip Wise was on the boards and saw this thread and immediately called Ben, and well Ben basically has Kenny's agents phone # on speed dial, as Kenny is scheduled to be in Dallas for FAN DAYS 2 here in Dallas, and he was concerned as well with this news....
