Feb. 8 (UPI) -- Charlie Rose has announced that he will be undergoing heart surgery that will leave him sidelined from appearing on television until March.
"Almost 15 years ago skilled surgeons replaced my aorta valve with a new replacement valve. It has served me well enabling me to live the vigorous, full, complete life you are all so familiar with. No one loves life more than I do," the long running CBS anchor said in a statement Wednesday.
