Comedian Gallagher Suffers Second Heart Attack, Cancels Tour

Watermelon-smashing funnyman Gallagher has canceled his remaining tour dates after suffering his second heart attack in less than two weeks.

"It can't be good on anyone's heart, mind and health to be on an airplane, rental car and hotel every night and then smash watermelons in front of a rowdy crowd night in and night out. He's been on the road for 32 years,” Gallagher’s manager, Craig Marquardo, said Monday.

"He's going to try and take some time off from touring and then as he goes forward, he'll still do some shows, but we'll really cherry-pick," Marquardo added.

The 65-year-old’s second heart attack happened Sunday at an Arizona hospital. His first happened on March 14 and was so severe that he was put in a medically-induced coma to recover.

Gallagher’s rep tells E! News he is currently “resting well in a Sedona hospital.”
