David Cassidy suffering from organ failure, surrounded by family

Quote:
Partridge Family" star David Cassidy is suffering from multiple organ failure at a Florida hospital, his rep confirmed to several media outlets Saturday.

Cassidy, 67, was admitted to the unidentified facility earlier this week.

A spokesperson told the New York Post that Cassidy was "conscious" and "surrounded by family." His hospitalization was first reported by TMZ.

The New York Daily News, citing Cassidy's rep, reported that the singer's liver and kidney were failing and he needed a transplant.

In February, Cassidy revealed to PEOPLE Magazine that he was battling dementia after he struggled to remember song lyrics and fell off the stage at a show in California.

Cassidy has also battled substance abuse issues and went to rehab in 2014.

I listen to the morning radio show hosted by his Partridge Family brother, Danny Bonaduce. I wonder what he'll have to say about it monday.
