“THEY cut off my leg, but I’m still alive!”
In an amazingly candid exclusive interview with The National ENQUIRER, down-on-his-luck Jan-Michael Vincent has revealed the “amputation horror” that nearly cost him his life.
The 69-year-old former “Airwolf” star – ravaged by booze, drugs and violence – told The ENQUIRER he found himself at “death’s door” when a medical crisis forced doctors to remove most of his right leg two years ago.
Sitting beside third wife Anna, Jan-Michael said the nightmare surgery resulted from complications of peripheral artery disease.
“An infection in my leg got steadily worse,” The “Big Wednesday” star told The ENQUIRER. “I felt like I was beaten with a whip, one thing after another.”
