"American Pickers" star Frank Fritz has been hospitalized after suffering a stroke.
Fritz's former co-star Mike Wolfe announced the news on Instagram.
"I have been very private in the past year in regards to Franks life and the journey he's been on," Wolfe wrote. "There has been lots of opinions in regards to mine and Frank's friendship and the show but now is not the time to set the record straight. Now is the time to pray for my friend."
"Frank has suffered a stroke and is in the hospital. Please keep him in your hearts and thoughts," Wolfe continued. "Frank I pray more than anything that you make it through this okay. I love you buddy."
As TMZ reported, Fritz stepped away from the History channel show about a year ago to deal with health problems. He needed a back surgery procedure, and he has a history of Crohn's disease.
Fritz became a part of "American Pickers" in 2010. The last episode in which the 56-year-old appeared aired in March 2020.

Frank always came across as a decent guy. Hope he makes it.
“There have been reports of alcoholism as well.”
That’s from working with Mike.
I wish him well but haven’t had much use for him since he made disparaging remarks about Christians!!!
Possible, but this guy had a long list of health issues. My guess is that s life of eating and drinking to excess has finally caught up to him.
Not judging...but not everything is the vax.
Prayers up for the guy—he’s had a rough couple of years.
Seems like every thrid person is suffering from a stroke these days. It’s a GD mystery....
