Jay Leno cancels show due to “serious medical situation”

Jay Leno was MIA with a scheduled appearance on Sunday night due to a “very serious medical emergency”.

Former Tonight Show host, 72, was due to perform at the Financial Brand Forum 2022 in Las Vegas, but was forced to cancel shortly beforehand, according to an email sent to conference attendees.

“His family was unable to provide us with too many details, but a very serious medical situation has prevented Jay from traveling,” reads the email that People obtained on Monday.

“We only know that he is alive, so we address our prayers tonight to him and his family.”

Leno’s representatives did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.

While it is unclear what kind of medical emergency took place, Leno has dealt with cardiovascular problems in recent years.

In March 2019, he revealed that he has high cholesterol and a heart block.

“We really want people to see the relationship because many people are unaware of high cholesterol – and if you’ve had a heart attack or stroke, you increase your risk of another.” he said in the video then.

“It’s like an earthquake, it may not destroy the house, but it certainly weakens the structure.”
