The Star Trek legend shared an update just one day after his surgery, revealing it was a simple "routine procedure," and his injuries had been blown out of proportion. "So I understand that tabloids say my shoulder was shattered. Dramatic. Colorful. Completely untrue," he posted on Instagram on Thursday alongside a graphic of an injured shoulder. "It was a routine procedure. I'm so well that tomorrow I'll be in Cleveland at a convention. Remember that tabloids don't let facts get in the way of a good headline."
