LOS ANGELES, Jan. 31 (UPI) -- Val Kilmer is denying published media reports claiming he is recovering from surgery to treat a tumor in his throat.
"Thank you for all your sweet support," he wrote in a Facebook post Saturday. "But I have not had a tumor, or a tumor operations, or any operation. I had a complication where the best way to receive care was to stay under the watchful eye of the ucla ICU. Friends have assisted who know my spiritual convictions and have been most sensitive and kind for the extra effort in making sure there's minimum gossip and silly talk. I am praying for a speedy return to the boards as they say. God bless you all and please don't worry. Love and deep affection, Val."
