The return of Michel Drucker to television is shifted. According to information from Le Parisien this Monday, February 27, the 80-year-old host was released from hospital on Sunday, February 26. This new stay “for a battery of medical tests” began at the beginning of the month. After his very heavy heart operation in 2020, the presenter is closely followed by the medical profession. If initially, his stay was to last a week, it was extended due to a discovery made by the doctors: a recurrence that required treatment for a fortnight.
“Michel is fine. He returned home, assures Stéphane Sitbon-Gomez, director of the antennas and programs of France Televisions, with the newspaper. He needs to rest after these trying weeks of hospitalization. But he is already actively preparing his return. Initially scheduled for early March, Michel Drucker’s return to the Vivement Dimanche presentation should instead take place in mid-April. A recovery that will also have an impact on his autobiographical show, From you to me. His return to the stage is not expected until next September.
In September 2020, the host had heart surgery. After feeling serious signs of shortness of breath, he had decided to consult, before being hospitalized for a triple coronary bypass, a heavy operation. Michel Drucker had had several months of convalescence, first in the clinic, under medical supervision, then in a nursing home, to recover completely. While waiting for his return, viewers will have to settle for the best moments of Vivement dimanche for weeks to come.
