He's fifty three years of age. He was 15 00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:49,599 Speaker 1: added in twenty eighteen. He's an amazing he's got an 16 00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:52,199 Speaker 1: amazing voice.

They performed at the 18 00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:58,800 Speaker 1: Grammys and they're still going. The figure The thing is 19 00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:03,960 Speaker 1: because he's joined the group recently. Poor Alexander, no one 20 00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:07,280 Speaker 1: really sort of knows who he is yet. So what's 21 00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:11,119 Speaker 1: what's happened is that he had a bit of an episode. 22 00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:14,200 Speaker 1: They found out that he had pneumonia and he was 23 00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:16,360 Speaker 1: going through a bit of cardiac distress. So he went 24 00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:21,120 Speaker 1: to his local hospital, Ascension Hospital in Oakland, and he 25 00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:24,319 Speaker 1: went in there had difficulty breathing chest pain. He was 26 00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:28,319 Speaker 1: placed on oxygen. However, when he informed a nurse and 27 00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:30,560 Speaker 1: a security guard in the emergency room that he was 28 00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:33,600 Speaker 1: a member of the Foe Tops and he had security 29 00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:36,800 Speaker 1: concerns because of stalkers and fans because the Four Tops 30 00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:41,160 Speaker 1: are so large, the hospital didn't believe him. So the 31 00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:45,440 Speaker 1: doctor ordered a psychological evaluation and he was restrained for 32 00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:49,920 Speaker 1: at least an hour and a half. Awesome, so they 33 00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:54,880 Speaker 1: put him in a straight jacket. They didn't believe in. 34 00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:58,480 Speaker 1: Kate Morris asked whether he could prove his identity by 35 00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:02,320 Speaker 1: showing his identification cut. He's suing the hospital now because 36 00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:05,240 Speaker 1: why did you just break into song? Well, he then said, 37 00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:08,320 Speaker 1: a white male security guard ordered him to sit his 38 00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:12,839 Speaker 1: black ass down. Oh my god, this is why he's 39 00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:18,200 Speaker 1: suing the hospital. His wife then rocks up Kate and 40 00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:20,560 Speaker 1: comes in and goes, oh my gosh, what is going 41 00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:23,520 Speaker 1: on here, and she said he's a member of the 42 00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:26,440 Speaker 1: Four Tops. She then had to get a phone out 43 00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:30,280 Speaker 1: and show the nurse a video of him performing at 44 00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:34,360 Speaker 1: the Grammys. It was then that the nurse realized that 45 00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:36,160 Speaker 1: he was actually a member of the Four Tops and 46 00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:40,680 Speaker 1: informed the emergency room doctor, and the doctor canceled the 47 00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:45,800 Speaker 1: psychological evaluation. The restraint jacket was finally removed, he was 48 00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:49,040 Speaker 1: placed back on oxygen, and he was offered a twenty 49 00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:51,960 Speaker 1: five dollars gift card for the hospital gift store as a. 50 00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:54,480 Speaker 2: Mad ology grab a balloon on the way out. What 51 00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:58,160 Speaker 2: I find strange about this is it's not impossible for 52 00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:00,360 Speaker 2: him to be a member of the fore Tops. So 53 00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:03,840 Speaker 2: he's not in hospital and saying Michael Jackson, and we 54 00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:06,560 Speaker 2: know that Michael Jackson is dead, and therefore this guy's 55 00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:10,320 Speaker 2: lost his mud Michael Jackson. Yeah, he's saying, I'm a 56 00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:13,600 Speaker 2: member of the Four Tops. I joined in twenty eighteen 57 00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:15,440 Speaker 2: when one of them died. So yeah, if you want 58 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:16,960 Speaker 2: to google it, that's probably the best way to work 59 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:17,880 Speaker 2: out if I'm lying or not. 60 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:21,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, what has he dropped the four Tops line to 61 00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:23,079 Speaker 1: get quicker treatment? 62 00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:24,080 Speaker 3: Yeah? 63 00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:27,359 Speaker 1: Because I mean if you went to the emergency room, Kate, 64 00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:29,920 Speaker 1: could you go Look, I know I think I've broken 65 00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:33,720 Speaker 1: my arm here, but look, hey it's Kate Richie.
