‘Pawn Stars’ staple undergoes emergency bypass surgery

1 hour ago 7

“Pawn Stars” star Rick Harrison is recovering after undergoing emergency bypass surgery.

Harrison, 61, initially went in for what was expected to be a simple procedure before doctors discovered he required bypass surgery, a spokesperson for the Harrison family told Page Six.

A rep for the reality TV personality told Page Six that he is “resting comfortably” as he continues to recover.

His rep added that Harrison, a fixture on the popular History Channel series, is grateful for the care he is receiving from doctors and hospital staff, as well as having his wife, Agripina “Angie” Polushkin, and children by his side.

TMZ was first to report the news.

Harrison shares son Corey, 43, with his first wife, Kim, and son Jake, 23, with his second wife, Tracy.

His son Adam, whom he shared with Kim, died at age 39 in January 2024 from an apparent overdose.

“Our family is extremely saddened by the death of Adam. We ask for privacy as we grieve his loss,” the Harrison family said in a statement to Page Six at the time.

A rep for Harrison later confirmed that Adam died from a fentanyl overdose.

“The fentanyl crisis in this country must be taken more seriously,” the rep told Page Six. “It seems it is just flowing over the borders and nothing is being done about it. We must do better.”

Harrison mourned his son on Instagram in the days following his death.

“You will always be in my heart! I love you Adam. 💔,” he wrote alongside a photo of himself and Adam spending time at a bar.

Harrison most recently made headlines in March after he criticized his son, Corey, for launching a GoFundMe to help pay his medical bills following a motorcycle accident.

“As far as I know, I paid all of Corey’s medical bills long before he put the GoFundMe out,” Harrison told Page Six via his rep at the time. “He is a grown man in his 40s and is responsible for how he handles his finances.”

Corey broke 11 ribs in a motorcycle crash in Tulum, Mexico, in January, with his friend Aron Chambers also revealing that Corey suffered a concussion, internal bleeding and a punctured lung in the wreck.

Chambers created the fundraising page, writing in part that it was done “with [Corey’s] full knowledge and blessing” to “[raise] emergency funds to cover more than $100,000 in medical bills and related expenses after a serious motorcycle accident in Tulum, Mexico, that left him fighting for his life.”

Corey appeared alongside his father on “Pawn Stars” from the series’ debut in 2009 until it went on hiatus in 2025 following its 23rd season.

The series is set to return in 2027 without Corey, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
