Well, his book tour just got canceled, and someone on Twitter claimed their friend was on a flight with Hitchens and he was taken off the plane on a stretcher with breathing problems or something.

Yeah, I was going to see him speak in Harvard Square Wednesday and we found out the event was canceled about 45 minutes before it was supposed to start.

All I heard was it was cancelled for some family reason. Didn't hear anything about his personal health, but I wouldn't be too surprised given his habits.

No, he just cancelled his shit claiming a family emergency. Your twitter friend is a liar.

On a side note, has anyone read his recent memoir? I'm making my way through it at the moment and it has been a bit... underwhelming so far, to say the least.

Is this your first Hitchens book?
Had you read some of his other stuff, you might have went in with appropriately low expectations.
