Once again, ‘Tiny Bubbles’
From Associated Press
Hawaiian crooner Don Ho has returned to the stage, less than two months after undergoing a stem-cell procedure in Thailand to strengthen his heart.
The 75-year-old Ho sang for 90 minutes before a Sunday-night sellout crowd of 300 people at the Ohana Waikiki Beachcomber Hotel in Honolulu. It was his first performance since Thanksgiving Day.
On Dec. 6, Ho underwent a new treatment that hasn’t been approved in the United States. It involves multiplying stem cells taken from his blood and injecting them into his heart in hopes of strengthening it.
For now, Ho will perform on Sundays only. He said he might add more shows at a later date.
