    He is truly one of the all-time greats.

    I hope he recovers completely and quickly.

    In order for him to get better, he needs some women to throw their panties at him!! :D

    just like Eddie Murphy says in his stand up routine, "Luther got the women throwin' their panties on the stage at him"-- or something to that effect, paraphrased.

    get well soon Luther!

    I don't mean to be rude but 60 year old obese people are like Santa Claus and the Easter bunny.

    They don't exist!

    He needs to lose some weight and quick!

    He actually has slimed down to the normal weight for his size, he's been normal size since the mid-90s.

    maybe he's taking ephedra or some other diet drug that caused the stroke?

    funny coming from a Fatty Fat b*stard

    he turns 52 on Sunday. i saw his show at Radio City Music Hall and had the wonderful opportunity to meet him, and he looked great. sources say he developed diabetes and high blood pressure/hypertension, but he has constantly been monitoring his health.

    a friend of mine's father is the bandleader for his band and just visited him at the hospital, he is conscious but he is definitely going to be in rehab for some time to come.

    lets hope he recovers and gets healthy
