Nalungkot ang mga tagahanga ng retired American actor na si Bruce Willis nang ibalita ng kanilang panganay na anak ni Demi Moore na si Rumer Willis, na may pinagdaraanang pagsubok sa kalusugan ang kaniyang ama.

"To Bruce’s amazing supporters, as a family we wanted to share that our beloved Bruce has been experiencing some health issues and has recently been diagnosed with aphasia, which is impacting his cognitive abilities. As a result of this and with much consideration Bruce is stepping away from the career that has meant so much to him," ayon sa Instagram post ni Rumer.

"This is a really challenging time for our family and we are so appreciative of your continued love, compassion and support. We are moving through this as a strong family unit, and wanted to bring his fans in because we know how much he means to you, as you do to him."

"As Bruce always says, “Live it up” and together we plan to do just that."

Ibinahagi rin ito sa social media ng kabiyak ni Bruce na si Demi.

Ayon sa John Hopkins Medicine, ang aphasia ay "language disorder caused by damage in a specific area of the brain that controls language expression and comprehension. Aphasia leaves a person unable to communicate effectively with others."
