Fair City Star Maclean Burke Hospitalized with Life-threatening Condition
Popular Irish actor Maclean Burke, known for his role as Damien Halpen on the long-running soap opera Fair City, was recently hospitalized after suffering a frightening health scare. The 47-year-old actor, who was also starring as the panto Dame, Polly, in the 3Olympia Theater’s production of *Freezin’*, collapsed after a Saturday night performance. Medical professionals diagnosed Burke with rhabdomyolysis, a rare and potentially life-threatening condition involving the rapid breakdown of muscle tissue, according to RSVP Live. Burke is currently recovering in the hospital and receiving treatment. Unluckily, this medical setback will force him to miss several upcoming panto performances.
