Cheers star George Wendt, 76, looks frail as he's seen being wheeled out of Los Angeles dialysis clinic

Cheers alum George Wendt appeared a shadow of his former self during a rare outing in Los Angeles this week.

Wendt, who was due to perform in a local production in Chicago at the time, was later reported to have undergone coronary bypass surgery after doctor's found a constricted artery. Wendt was joined by former co-stars Ted Danson, Kelsey Grammer, Rhea Perlman, and John Ratzenberger around a recreated set of the show's iconic bar. Hailing from Chicago, prior to acting Wendt was expelled from the University of Notre Dame in Indiana over poor grades before moving into showbusiness, where his first job was sweeping a theatre floor.
