Mike, aged 58, posted a long statement on Instagram to share his sad news.
He began: “I have been very private in the past year in regards to Franks life and the journey he’s been on. There has been lots of opinions in regards to mine and Frank’s friendship and the show but now is not the time to set the record straight. This is the right time to pray for Frank, my friend.
“Frank has suffered a stroke and is in the hospital. Please keep him in your hearts and thoughts.”
Mike concluded: “Frank, I pray more than anything that you make it through this okay. I love you, buddy.”
American Pickers fans rushed to leave their best wishes and wished each other well.
“Prayers to a full recovery!”One more.
Another: “I’m so sorry to hear this and I hope the two of you were able to heal old wounds.”
The third was added: “Oh my god NO! He’ll pull through.”
HISTORY OF HEALTH
Frank’s stroke news comes one year after his firing from American Pickers.
His last appearance on the show was during a March 2020 episode. He then took time off to recuperate from back surgery.
During his time off the show, Frank lost 65 pounds, as was believed to be living a healthier lifestyle and avoiding alcohol.
Frank told Central Recorder that he checked into rehab for alcohol abuse in Iowa for 77 days.
It was after his terrible split. Diann, Diann’s ex-fiancée and longtime girlfriend, has now become her ex-fiancee.
Frank spoke out about their split: “I tried to drink her away.”
Crohn’s disease has also been a major issue for the vintage enthusiast, whom he has battled for over 30 year.
Frank, in addition to his health problems was also working at his Illinois antique shop since his firing by History Channel.
SHOW SHAKEUP
Although they were childhood friends, a source close to Frank exclusively revealed to Central Recorder that Mike has not reached out to him since he was fired from the show.
Since Frank was let go, Central Recorder has revealed that the show’s ratings have plummeted to under one million viewers for the first time in years.
Fans started to boycott the reality series after Frank was fired, while many viewers have slammed Robbie as a “boring” replacement.
It’s possible, however, that Mike might be in the mood for an offer of help to his former coworker in light of the latest health crisis.
