Very sad news. Hoping he makes a quick recovery and can get the help he needs. Never let the dark thoughts win people. You never know what\u2019s just around the corner<\/p>\n

Hope he pulls through. Guy\u2019s spent decades being the loudest person in every room, that\u2019s a heavy thing to carry alone<\/p>\n

A life in Las Vegas will drain you of your soul. He\u2019s been headlining since 2005. He needs to recover, retire, and get the hell outta Vegas.<\/p>\n

People shit on this guy for years. It was the weirdest thing. Honestly probably the reason. He\u2019s gotten love recently but man the world was cruel to him<\/p>\n

Pray for Carrot Top. Carrot Top is unironically one of the best acts in Vegas. He\u2019s been at it for so so long. Hope he gets the help he needs. A legend. https:\/\/t.co\/wbzIiX7hxq<\/a><\/p>\n
