LOS ANGELES (June 5) - Former "Cheers" and "Frasier" star Kelsey Grammer was released from a hospital in Hawaii Wednesday, four days after suffering what was described as a mild heart attack, People magazine reported.

Grammer, 53, is "resting comfortably" at his home on Hawaii's Big Island, People quoted the actor's spokesman as saying.

Grammy-winning singer Natalie Cole was diagnosed with hepatitis C in July. A statement released by her publicist said that the disease was likely caused by her drug use years ago. "I am committed...to meet this challenge," Cole said.

He had chest pains Saturday while paddle-boarding with his wife, Camille, and was taken to a hospital, where he was found to have suffered a heart attack.

Grammer was stricken a few weeks after the Fox network canceled his new show, "Back to You," in which he starred as a pompous, womanizing TV news anchor. The series made it for only one season.

Grammer gained fame portraying the sherry-swilling shrink Dr. Frasier Crane for 20 years, initially as a co-star on the NBC comedy hit "Cheers" and then as the star of his own spinoff series.

my husband and I are big fans of Frazier series, the new one he started this season was very bad. Being a fan of both Raymond and Frazier, we looked forward to it, and were so disapointed, it wasn't the least funny, the daughter story line was in poor taste for the talents of Kelsey.
the antics of the others was horid, the constant fighting of the two stars not the least funny or enjoyable. I look forward to perhaps a new series for both, in the meantime we enjoy the reruns.
