The Las Vegas Review-Journal reported Sunday the 73-year-old singer was admitted to Los Angeles' Cedars-Sinai Medical Center for treatment of the serious lung condition. Treatment for advanced stages of the lung ailment typically includes a lung transplant. Goulet, who reportedly has been on a ventilator since being admitted to the hospital last week, previously overcame a prostate cancer scare in the early 1990s. The noted singer, who once counted late crooner Frank Sinatra as one of his many admirers, burst onto the international scene in 1960 when he performed in the popular Broadway musical "Camelot." He has won a Grammy, a Tony and an Emmy. |
