Conservative radio host Mark Levin announced on Monday that he suffered a major injury and will be taking a break from the airwaves while he heals.
Levin said on X he fell over the weekend and tore his quadricep, a group of muscles at the front of the thighs, and his right knee. The injury will likely require him to be in surgery before he returns on-air.
“Unfortunately, I had a very bad fall this weekend and tore my quadricep between my right knee and thigh,” Levin said. “I’ll likely be in surgery in the next day or two. I’ll be back on air as soon as I can. God bless.”
Levin hosts “Life, Liberty & Levin” every Saturday and Sunday on Fox News, as well as his syndicated radio program, “The Mark Levin Show,” every weekday on stations all over the country. The host did not mention who would fill in for him during his absence.
Social media users offered their condolences to Levin following his sudden announcement.
“Sorry to hear that, Mark. Hope you’re back behind the microphone asap,” TPUSA founder Charlie Kirk said.
Take care of yoursel, Mark! Will keep you in my prayers!
