The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson musician John B. Williams, 85, is now in hospice care after undergoing surgery following a fall.

On Wednesday, June 3, Williams’ wife, Jessica, told TMZ that her husband recently fell and needed brain surgery due to his injuries. Williams had dementia before the fall, she noted, but the accident “greatly accelerated its progression,” per TMZ.
