KIEFER SUTHERLAND HAS MINOR SURGERY

Kiefer Sutherland

"24" has been suspended after Kiefer Sutherland suffered a ruptured cyst last week.The cameras stopped filming after Sutherland had to take time out to undergo minor surgery. Bosses on the show are insisting they were happy to stop rolling for Sutherland to have the surgery, rather than making the television icon wait the six weeks that he is required for the rest of the filming. The star is expected back in a few days. A spokesperson for the show tells E! Online, "We are temporarily suspending production of 24 while our friend and colleague Kiefer Sutherland undergoes a medical procedure. We hope to resume production shortly and do not anticipate any disruption in the broadcast of this season's episodes."
