After speculation as to why Joe Manganiello cancelled his appearance at a charity event last week, TMZ is reporting that Manganiello was hospitalized with a serious case of appendicitis. 

According to TMZ, the 39-year-old actor “went into the hospital late last week to have his appendix removed, but when doctors went in they were alarmed. We do not conclusively know the nature of the problem, but one source says his appendix burst.”

Joe's been a big part of what we've done over the years. He's been a great personal friend.
