Robert Goulet Awaiting Lung Transplant
Robert Goulet is in a Los Angeles hospital awaiting a critical lung transplant, his wife told the associated press on Tuesday. What made Robert Goulet so sick? Apparently he’s suffering from pulmonary fibrosis, which is a very progressive and possibly fatal lung disease.
Goulet has been on a breathing tube for the last two weeks, and hasn’t been able to speak during that time. While speaking about a conversation she had with Robert before the tube was inserted, Robert’s wife said, “He said, ‘Just give me a new pair of lungs and I’ll hit the high notes until I’m 100.’”
Robert Goulet Career
Robert’s career as a singer and on-stage performer has gone on now for more than 55 years. His debut performance, Sir Lancelot in “Camelot”, was highly acclaimed and Robert’s career took off from there. He was a Grammy in 1965 for best new artist and a Tony in 1968 for his role in “The Happy Time.”
Our hearts go out to Robert Goulet and his family. Let’s hope that he’s able to receive the transplant he very much needs.
