Fitness icon Richard Simmons sparked major concern with a cryptic Facebook post on Monday. The 74-year-old recluse, who has largely stayed out of the spotlight in recent years, used his platform for a surprising health update.
A Dramatic Declaration: Simmons’ message began with a doozy: “I have some news to tell you. Please don’t be sad. I am….dying.” He quickly added, “Oh I can see your faces now. The truth is we all are dying. Every day we live we are getting closer to our death.”

Living Life to the Fullest: While the wording was certainly dramatic, Simmons’ overall message seems to be one of cherishing each day. He urged his followers to “enjoy your life to the fullest every single day. Get up in the morning and look at the sky… count your blessings and enjoy.”
Is Richard Okay? The post offered no details about any specific health issues Richard might be facing. Adding to the confusion, his representative, Michael Catalano, assures us that Richard is “very healthy and very happy.”
Spreading Positivity: Despite the initial scare, Simmons’ message ultimately focused on spreading positivity. He encouraged readers to eat healthy, exercise, express love to those close to them, and listen to Tim McGraw’s song “Live Like You Were Dying.”
A History of Health Issues: This isn’t the first time Richard’s health has made headlines. In 2017, he was hospitalized for “severe indigestion.” Back then, he used Facebook to express his gratitude for well wishes and emphasized the importance of asking for help when needed.
