Roger Ebert fractures hip while disco dancing (yes, that Roger Ebert)

12/7/2012

Who let Roger Ebert add "Saturday Night Fever" to his Netflix queue? "Roger in hospital with hip fracture (tricky disco dance moves)," his wife, Chaz, tweeted yesterday. Details are sparse on how the 70-year-old actually injured himself, but he can’t risk any more health crises. The famed film critic has already lost his voice following treatments for thyroid and salivary gland cancer, which included removing part of his jaw. If dancing's really his thing, he should be back on his feet soon if his own chirpy tweet is anything to go by: "Yes, fracture. But no surgery needed. Details follow. :)" [Source]
