Chevy Chase Addresses His Health After Being Spotted In Wheelchair

National Lampoon’s Vacation star Chevy Chase was recently spotted in a wheelchair at the Philadelphia Museum of Art during the unveiling of Sylvester Stallone’s Rocky memorabilia shop last weekend. The Saturday Night Live veteran sported a red puffer jacket over a white shirt and denim jeans, complemented by a white cap and red-rimmed glasses.

The actor’s recent public appearance comes two years after he had a major health scare. Although the exact nature of his sickness then was undisclosed despite being hospitalized for five weeks, it was mentioned that it was related to heart problems. At the same time, it’s hard to ascertain if his recent appearance is that 2021 health scare is something he’s recovered from.

His tour is extensive during the holiday season.”
