The 67-year-old retired actor and singer was rushed to a Florida hospital three days ago after his organs began shutting down.

He was put into a coma and is said to be in a critical condition.

The Partridge Family star is reported to be in need of a liver transplant and is also suffering from kidney failure.

A source told the Daily Star Sunday: “It’s looking grim.”

Reports from the US also claimed doctors had told David’s family “they need to prepare for the worst,” given his deteriorat­ing condition.

It is the latest health scare for David who revealed earlier this year revealed he was battling dementia.

The Daydreamer singer shared a touching message on his website thanking his fans for sending “messages of concern and care” during his struggle with the condition.

In March he wrote: “I am enjoying some time at home, appreciati­ng the warmth and contemplat­ing what I will be doing next.

“I wanted to let you all know that I am not retired, I do want to play again. I just won’t tour.

“I also want to go back into the studio to record ‘Songs My Father Taught Me’.”
