He was later discharged to recover at a nursing home in California, but is now back at his home in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n<p>A statement from his Anders Frejdh Management company posted on X &#8211; formerly known as Twitter &#8211; explained: \u201cI&#8217;m very happy to report our client <a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/george-lazenby\/\" class=\"exposure-link \" data-linktrack=\"LinkTracker,articleExposure,george-lazenby\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">George Lazenby<\/a> has safely returned home.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;After an accidental fall at home in November leading to a head injury, he&#8217;s rehabilitated well thanks to the great team at Beverly West Healthcare for which I, his family and friends are grateful for. &#8220;<\/p>\n<p>The statement added: &#8220;Not easy getting old but at 84, George has certainly demonstrated what a fighter he is. Love and only love.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nThe accident comes after a year after the veteran movie star issued an apology after he was removed from a live show following complaints about his on-stage stories. <\/p>\n<p>\nLazenby insisted it was not his \u201cintention\u201d to upset people with his anecdotes from the height of his fame while appearing at &#8216;The Music of James Bond&#8217; in Perth, Australia in September, 2022.<\/p>\n<p>\nIn a statement shared on social media, he explained: \u201cI am sorry and saddened to hear that my stories in Perth on Saturday might have offended some people.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cIt was never my intention to make hurtful or homophobic comments and I am truly sorry if my stories that I have shared many times, for example in the documentary \u2018BECOMING BOND\u2019, were taken that way. <\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cI personally have friends within my close circle who are gay and I would never wish to offend anyone. Having been surrounded by strong women all my life, I have always admired and respected women and their wishes. <\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cI figure my real achievements in my life are my kids: when my daughter Melanie recently got married, I was so proud. As I am of my other kids, Jennifer &#8211; who has made me a great granddad. My younger kids are doing well: George Jnr and my twins, Samuel and Kaitlin. <\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cNow in my 80s, family and friends are naturally what\u2019s most important to me.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\nThis came came after Concertworks dropped Lazenby from the tour\u2019s dates in Melbourne citing \u201cunacceptable\u201d remarks made on stage in Perth.<\/p>\n<p>\nNo recording of the incident was released but attendees reported what went on in the theatre, according to interviews on local radio stations.<\/p>\n<p>\nAn audience member said: \u201cHe spent all of the interview just talking basically about his sexual conquests, he swore, he certainly wasn&#8217;t talking about his Bond movies, he downplayed the Queen, a day after she died.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cHe named women he had slept with, and there were children in the audience, and a lot families who had brought their kids probably to their first classical music concert.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/james-bond-star-george-lazenby-hospitalised-after-fall-1390166.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>18 December 2023 Former James Bond George Lazenby has been hospitalised with a head injury following a nasty fall at home.
