Art Bell

[McPhallus]

Dunno, on godlike productions someone said it was his father in law. Too much speculation. I got nothing.

Someone commented to that end on his post, but I can't find any other source.

[Agent : Orange]

Man, seven people "like" his status.

What absolute dicks.

WTF? Art's FB page has 300+ comments on it-all with questions concerning this cancer post. I would imagine that Art would have brought forth some clarification or further comments by now. It's been 2 hours since the original cancer post. I hope and pray someone hacked his account and Art is yet unaware of it. Is anyone FB friends with his wife?

She hasn't posted anything yet but others have expressed their well wishes to her. Whether or not they are actually friends or just "friends" I have no idea.

[UnscreenedCaller]

This is horrible news. I'm so hoping this isn't true.   Please be OK, Art. 

And those turmeric/baking soda morons can go shove it sideways.

[Coasted2astop]

The original post is still readable here, at least for now, but I haven't seen a clarification/confirmation from Art himself yet.

Seems to be gone now..

Sad if true but I am thinking his fb page was hacked.

[b_dubb]

i'm still able to view it.  and a shit ton of needy, clingy assholes are posting to his wall.  mostly completely selfish bullshit about how bad it would be for THEM if Art died.  what a bunch of douchebags

It's still visible if you are FB friends with him

I have befriended Art and read the post.  I did not comment. .yet.  There is still speculation. 

The strange thing is that there is a YouTube of someone who had a video blog, and that is a story on MSN.  He has some type of cancer and has been fighting it for ten years,  The YouTube was his goodbye to all of of his supporters.  I never, never watch these types of YouTubes, but for some reason. .pain. . I was drawn to it and watched it. 

Then, immediately after I watched that I read the word or not about Art.  I noticed that if I posted it would go to his phone.   I don't know if that means anything.  I have only posted maybe once or twice on his account. 

I also pause to think of people who have recovered from liver cancer via  a transplant or other treatment.  One person that comes to mind is Larry Hagman.  He was an onery cuss.  Art is not that pernicative, but he is Art and there is only one Art.  Mr. Hagman was recently filming on a remake of Dallas after having gotten a liver transplant, I believe.  There is hope likewise for Art.  I pray that he does not have cancer, but I would be doing everything in his earthly, heavenly, and paranormal power to get on a transplant list.  If he has it, there is hope.  If he does not then this is one hell of a ride he can hold onto.

Hagman had a transplant many years ago.  I don't know what stage he was.  It sounds like Art (if true) is in the late stages and it may be too late for a transplant (if he's even a candidate).  It took me two years to get a new kidney.  If he was terminal, I'd have thought he'd have shown some symptoms long before now.

I always thought it would of been the cigarettes that got him. I hope this is just some ill conceived prank or a hacked facebook account. I know hes "just some guy who was on the radio", but this really sucks.

[Fly By Night]

Now I just saw this on Art's page..take it for what it's worth

Whitley Strieber- Art is not dying. I just talked to him. It is his father in law.

[McPhallus]

OK, Strieber just commented that he just spoke to Art, and it is indeed his father in law and not Art himself.

Art has some explaining to do for making such a vague post.

every post Art has made on facebook has been vague. Right before I saw your comment, I googled 'art bell cancer" and found a page where someone mentioned it was his father in law.

[MV/Liberace!]

what.  the.  fuck.

[HorrorReporter]

It's not art

From Whitley's page

"Whitley Strieber
Art Bell is fine. His father in law is dying. I just spoke with him 2 minutes ago and he is definitely fine. He thought he had made it clear on his page, but it is still a bit confusing"

I'm a bit pissed now. Like when your family member comes home late and will not answer the phone. When they do come home you're happy they are safe, but at the same time want to bodyslam them. Art, we like you man..no need to make posts like that for us to prove it. At the same time sorry about your father in law

[MV/Liberace!]

i feel rather annoyed at this moment.

i feel rather annoyed at this moment.

no kidding.

[Shockwave]

Still sucks his father in law is dying.  Started getting drunk earlier.......  :-/   OH well.

[Eddie Coyle]

 
   Drama Queen that plays head games with his fans.

       Though he's probably a bit freaked out, it's a mortality check. Since he's probably TEN years older than his father in law.

I feel a bit jerked around myself. But hey! You had the most people online ever in this forum. That's gotta feel...um, I'll just go have some cheese and crackers now. Nothing more to see here, huh.

[HorrorReporter]

It was much ado about nothing.. I am not sure why Whitney Strieber and Art Bell think it's surprising that people thought the post meant ART BELL?? Anyone who has a granular of understanding about how Facebook works will know that if a person posts "3 to 6 months to live" without saying someone else's name, it's sort of meant that it's the person who posted it. Right? Or did Airyn post this with the language barrier?
I am confused.
happy it's not Art. Sad it's his wife's dad.
But confused at the events of the night.

I was on the wife's acct - that explains it. Thanks for straightening that out. I can't stand fb..

[coaster]

If I myself wasnt so inebriated right now, Id leave a message on his facebook telling him what I think about his attention whoring message. But then again it is his father in law, so Im sure hes really upset, and maybe wasnt in his right mind. But who in the hell is so self absorbed that they can leave a message like that and assume that we would know who hes talking about? I dont know why this whole thing got me so riled up.

You know it was almost like he wanted attention, isn't it? And he got it. A bunch of message boards immediately lit up. So he's got that ole 1990s magic.
Now if he'd just bring it back to radio!

[Fly By Night]

I also think it's a bit bullsh*t that he has not made another FB post to clear things up

Agreed. We had to wait for Whitley to clear it up. Art could have quickly easily posted another message.
