Michael Palin Cancels Book Tour After Fracturing Ribs
The former Monty Python star said three fractured ribs and a minor pelvic fracture will delay rescheduled dates.
- On Tuesday, actor Sir Michael Palin canceled his UK book tour after a bathroom fall at home resulted in three fractured ribs and a minor pelvic fracture, with the 83-year-old announcing the news on Instagram.
- Describing the incident as 'quite unsensational,' Palin explained he slipped in the family bathroom where he has walked for 58 years, calling it a 'comedy fall' with no audience present.
- Recovery from bone fractures takes a long time, especially at 83, Palin explained, while expressing gratitude for the NHS's care and confirming cancellations of events over the next few months.
- Ticket holders will be contacted with rescheduled dates 'as soon as they are available,' according to a statement on Sir Michael's website, as the actor apologized 'profusely' to tour organizers.
- Since the 2023 death of Helen Gibbins, his wife of 57 years, Sir Michael has remained active traveling worldwide while maintaining health through Reformer Pilates and daily stretching routines.
