“Almost 15 years ago skilled surgeons replaced my aorta valve with a new replacement valve. It has served me well enabling me to live the vigorous, full, complete life you are all so familiar with. No one loves life more than I do,” Rose explained in a statement. “To continue to live this amazing life so full of challenges and friends, including so many of you in the audience, I have chosen to replace the valve with a new one. The timing is my choice.”
Rose went on to disclose that he will be kept at the hospital for a few days following his surgery, and then will be “resting for a couple of weeks” before his return to the show in March.

After Rose broke the news, King took to Instagram to send some well wishes to her co-anchor. “By now you've heard news TV ‘huz-bin’ @charlierose having a heart procedure,” she wrote. “Asking for all your good wishes! Counting days ‘til his return.”
