Ed Bradley recovering from surgery
By P.J. Bednarski -- Broadcasting & Cable, 5/9/2003 1:44:00 PM
A CBS News spokeswoman said late Friday afternoon that 60 Minutes correspondent Ed Bradley underwent successful coronary-bypass surgery in New York at Mt. Sinai Medical Center April 29, but the medical procedure wasn't disclosed to the media because "Ed is a very private person."
CBS finally announced it Friday because a Bradley piece on 60 Minutes this Sunday will show Bradley interviewing a gun lobbyist-turned-anti-gun activist, but the spoken "stand-up" segments between Bradley's interview will be read by CBS' Bob Simon -- a situation strange enough that the network felt it had to explain.
Bradley, 61, is expected to fully recover, his doctors said.
In a press statement, he said, "I'm feeling better every day and looking forward to getting back to work."
