Gossip: Heather Locklear
Locklear was taken to a hospital near her home in Los Angeles after her sister found her in an “out of control” state.
Heather Locklear is recovering after reportedly ingesting a combination of drugs and alcohol, said People​.com. Locklear, 50, was taken to a hospital near her home in Los Angeles last week after her sister found her in an “out of control” state and called 911, says a source. Reports indicate she may have mixed prescription medication and alcohol. “She is in no danger, and she is going to be just fine,” said her parents in a statement. Locklear called off plans to marry former Melrose Place co-star Jack Wagner last November. Sources say the breakup may have been related to the fact that Wagner is sober and Locklear is not.
