Glad to hear Gandalf is ok.

Wonderful actor. In "Gods and Monsters" he was splendid. I wish him a speedy recovery. It must be great to have the opportunity to see him on stage. 🙌

Hes a workaholic. It will do him good to have time off.
Honestly. This guy never stops.

Prayers for Sir Ian from this American

I think he should take the time he needs including cancelling his remaining dates this season. Falling even from a normal standing height at 85 years of age is no joke, let alone off a stage. He's lucky he didn't break a hip or have a serious head injury.
Here's to a full and speedy recovery, Sir Ian! Take some time for yourself.
