The shocking news of Frank's stroke comes one year after he was fired from his role on American Pickers.
He last appeared on the show during a March 2020 episode, before he took time off to recover from back surgery.
During his time off the show, Frank lost 65 pounds, as was believed to be living a healthier lifestyle and avoiding alcohol.
Frank also told The Sun that he checked into rehab for alcohol abuse in Iowa for 77 days.
Frank said last year: “I went to rehab and I’ve been sober now for 11 months.
“I didn’t like drinking anymore. My mom was an alcoholic and she died five years ago and it was alcohol-related. My grandfather was an alcoholic and he died. That didn’t sit well with me.”
