Ailing former President Bill Clinton raised concerns about his health during a speech at The Headstrong Project's Annual Gala in New York City.
Clinton, 79, appeared frail, wearing a Band Aid on his nose, and struggled to turn pages of his speech, visibly shaking. He also made an uncomfortably long pause during his address.
It was a bit sad to watch. The room went dead silent when he spoke because he had a low voice and was speaking slowly so everyone wanted to hear what he had to say.
The reason for the Band Aid is unclear, but Clinton has previously been treated for a pre-cancerous lesion on his nose. He spoke in a low, halting voice while handing out an award to former Navy SEAL Frank Larkin.
The event supported the organization's efforts to provide free mental health care for veterans.
