Eldest Hanson Hospitalized

Posted Oct 3rd 2007 6:28PM by TMZ Staff

TMZ has learned that Isaac Hanson, 27, the eldest of the family trio of the band Hanson, has been hospitalized suffering from a pulmonary embolism, thus postponing their concert in Tulsa tonight.

As the Tulsa World first reported, tonight's show "is definitely canceled." The paper spoke with Ken Philips, the band's publicist, who said Isaac was admitted to the hospital earlier today with severe shoulder and chest pain. "This could be serious, but nobody knows just yet," and added, "We are hoping for the best."

A pulmonary embolism is a serious condition. Blood clots travel to the lungs and can result in death if not treated immediately. Isaac has been hospitalized for this condition before.

Hanson, the family band that drove the kids crazy with the hit "MMMBop," is from Tulsa.

61. Been there, done that! Had a broken big toe, had to wear a immobilizer boot. The boot banged my calf muscle, so after 3 days I stopped wearing the boot. My calf never hurt more in my life. 2 months later, I am having strange symptoms similar to having a cold (walking a staircase feels slightly exhausting). Over the next 2 weeks, things got worse. I finally went to urgent care - they sent me home saying I was fine. 2 more days of deterioration I checked into the ER and refused to leave. After 2 days, guess what - pulmonary emboli, worst they had seen (i.e. should be dead). 11 days of IV blood thinner later I was back on the streets. Oral blood thinners for another couple months and back to 100% - not fun. Get well soon

68.
In reading posts I gather he had a thromboembolism in his right arm after it was caught in an elevator in 2003 now he may have a pulmonary embolism.
Did the first condition cause the second that may be happening now?
or did TMZ get it wrong. confusing......

I wish him a speedy recovery regardless.

69. Hanson are ten times more the musicians than half of the sorry excuse for "artist" that are put on the radio. They have a God given talent that they have used for positive things in their lives and the lives of others. They deserve support, respect and prayer. Get well soon. much love

70. Pray he gets better. As a PE survivor myself, it sounds to me like he has one of the genetic mutations that cause blood clots, because he has clotted once before. It's rare that someone his age develops clots so easily. Hope he gets tested so he can learn to prevent them.

71. OMG....I was soooo excited to see them play in the Bay Area for the first time in forever, but since this isn't about me....I am praying he is healthy again soon for his child and wifes sake. I have a toddler and I can't imagine what her life would be like without her father.....or what it would be like to lose a husband.
