I don't know too many details. He sent an e-mail as he was waiting for a plane to Germany, and only mentioned that he was having emergency surgery to clear his esophagus. No mention was made of what the problem was, but he seemed cognizant and was able to use e-mail, so I'm guessing it's not too serious.
