Medical Problems
It was reported by the Le Jour du Chacal, a French periodical, on September 13, 2009; that Don Williams was hospitalized after growing a third eye in his forhead and an arm had begun to grow out of his torso. His personal friends deny these reports as "sheer bladderwocky and bleeble blabble". Pictures later emerged proving the stories.
