Former Baywatch Star, David Hasselhoff was rushed to hospital on Sunday night, September 20, 2009; suffering from alcohol poisoning. Reports said that it was the star’s 17-year-old daughter; Hayley was the one has discovered Hasselhoff extremely drunk. The young lady then called her mother Pamela, who asked a friend to call 911 to rush to Hasselhoff’s home in Encino, California. Paramedics arrived, took the star to hospital for treatment, and was said to have left in an hour. Hasselhoff was already hospitalised back in May 2009, with alleged alcohol poisoning, but then his spokesperson insisted that the incident was not serious. The ‘Knight Rider’ star has publicly battled alcoholism for several years and has been hospitalized for alcohol poisoning five times previously. This incident has opened the issue on the actor’s alcohol problem. If people would remember it right, Hasselhoff was preciously exposed in a video footage of him writhing around on the floor trying to eat a cheeseburger. He was then checked into a rehabilitation facility. He said afterwards: “Unfortunately, I did have a brief relapse, but part of recovery is relapse. I am a recovering alcoholic.”
Now he was fighting off reports regarding his recent hospitalization and was saying that it was caused by an equilibrium imbalance, which is caused by a new prescription medication, a drug prescribed to treat an ear infection that he took right after his anti-alcohol tablets.
According to the actor’s attorney Mel Goldsman, Hasselhoff was under treatment for his inner ear infection and had a bad reaction with his medication over the weekend that made him lost his equilibrium and it left him dizzy.
Meanwhile, Hasselhoff is set to perform at the 20th anniversary of the fall of Berlin Wall on November 9, 2009. Joining with him in his number includes performers like Bryan Adams, Sinead O’Connor, Joni Mitchell and Van Morrison. He says with excitement, “I sang to a million people there in 1989. I sang Looking for Freedom the night the Wall came down. I’m going back this year.”
