Ouch!"Former American Idol star Bo Bice underwent emergency intestinal surgery in Nashville last Thursday, the latest in a string of stomach troubles that have plagued the singer since last summer. The procedure was described as neither easy nor routine, but Bice, 30, is expected to make a full recovery, his label said in a statement. He is currently recovering at the hospital in Nashville. Doctors diagnosed his ailment as intussusception, an intestinal condition found mostly in young children and which Bice may have had since he was born. The doctors hope this latest surgery will resolve his intestinal problems for good, his reps said." Get well soon, Bo.

Bo's publicist spoke to People: “Bo is still in the hospital, and he’s stable,” his publicist, Roger Widynowski, tells PEOPLE. “He had tests in the morning and after review of said tests it was determined that surgery should be performed immediately.
“Everyone is hopeful that this surgery will correct the condition, but there is no way to know for certain. He already has changed his diet (and) lifestyle over the last few monthspeople.aol.com/people/article/0,26334,1544378,00.html According to Bo's website, he's been in and out of emergency rooms all year. All that and he never missed a date, and only missed one M&G. Let's just hope he rests now.

Me too, filomena. Bo's been through a real ordeal ever since the last couple weeks of AI2 and has the responsibility of little Aidan too. He is an amazing trouper, but I hope he also knows when and how to take care of himself. Sometimes I'm not so sure about that, so I hope Caroline will slap him upside the head or whatever is necessary to make him do that.
Let's hope they've finally got Bo's guts 'straightened out'.

Saw on one of his boards that someone had spoken with his Mom and Bo is feeling better but still weak. Man, I hate that this had to happen to him.

Does anyone know his diagnosis? Intestinal problems? I also hope he has a full recovery.

Up above someone said it was called intussusception. If you look it up on the internet it is some bad stuff and really rare for adults. Has anyone heard if he is feeling better or home yet?

I'm sure he's home by now. Haven't heard anything about him - I guess no news is good news! (I hope)

I think I read that he was back home recuperating by now. I sure hope so and that he can make a full recovery.

Wondering how Bo's album is doing and how much his illnesses, surgeries, etc., have hurt sales by interfering with his touring, etc. Also wondering if he's working on a new album.
There are a couple of songs from this album that I really like -- especially Willing to Try -- and that I think could do well on radio if released, but things seem to have stagnated.

I hope Bo's 2nd cd is kick butt. I mean, it won't be too hard to break the first cd's sales and shed the sophomore slump and all.
I hope his 2nd cd is HUGE. I liked his first cd but I'm ready for Bo to really break out an really blow me away with his next cd.

Well, then I'm not sure what you mean,Love. Unfortunately, SugarMoney hasn't come to my neck of the woods, and I haven't heard too much about what Bo's been up to since his last surgery, which was not that long ago. (BTW, I do sometimes listen to music radio, just not CHR/Pop, AC, Country, or Urban a lot. I'm actually a huge fan of Bo's pre-Idol work, such as some of his songs from Exgratia and Recipe For Flavor. I just don't think Clive did right by him in the direction they pushed him with The Real Thing. It's like, once again, Clive took an Idol contestant that had his/her own style and tried to make him/her sound like the music du jour.

I don't know how sales have been for this cd but I have heard rumblings and rumors that he is working on his next cd. Can't wait to hear it! I, too, hope it is kick ass!! I did love a lot of the songs on The Real Thing though. Lie...It's Alright was a favorite as well as It's My Life. If you go to Bo's Myspace page there is a clip from the Decades Rock Live show. Heard that a dvd/cd of this will be available in the spring. Can't wait!!

I think Bo's song "Willing To Try" (on TRT) has a very strong Elton John-esque sound to it. (I think it was Donna Reynolds of Foxes On Idol who first made that comparison, but I instantly agreed when I heard it.) His voice sounds stronger, fuller, and deeper on that song than on most of the pop-rock soundalike cuts on the album, and I can so hear that song as a hit on Hot AC stations and some other types as well. I sure hope RCA hasn't given up on radio promo from this album.

Niiice pic!! Not sure I'd have known it was Bo, with the head thrown back like that and the underlighting, but it'd make a great poster! Way to go, Bo!

Very cool picture of Bo - but dang does he look thin. Poor thing.
Here's hoping his second cd will be his 'Breakaway'! I've got my fingers crossed for ya Bo!

They never promoted Time Has Come Today to radio, which makes sense because it wouldn't really fit anywhere. I do love it though. Re: Bo being thin - he seems to be looking a lot better now that he recovered from his second surgery. He was out on the town in Nashville a couple of weeks ago and a fan had her photo taken backstage: Ignore the date stamp - it's wrong - this was at Gary Nichols' gig in Nashville the week before last. Bo sang "Whipping Post" with the band apparently. He's looking good! Word is he's writing songs for CD #2 right now.

Not sure if this is good news or bad news. Maybe, assuming they're onto something, a little of both. www.realitytvmagazine.com/blog/2007/01/american_idol_r.htmlWell, if Clive wasn't gonna let Bo be Bo, it's probably good if they part company. I just wish RCA would have let him do an album that played to his strengths and then supported it with their clout. *BTW, TRT not only went gold, but it had sold over 700,000 copies last time I checked. It was one of the 100 best selling new albums of 2006 (Billboard).

BTW, I just checked the www.rcarecords.com website, and Bo's name and pic are still there on the scrolling banner. Of course, that website is still announcing "upcoming appearances" for October, 2006, so make of it what you will. ;)

It may be on the scrolling banner but it's off the drop down roster.
I hope he finds a label that will support him instead of trying to make him into something he is not. I've taken a huge dislike to AI/Clive/RCA.

I actually hope that it's true. RCA has not been very good with Bo. Now that he's out of the label (assuming it's true), I can't wait for him to release stuff that is "The Real Bo"!
