Father Beckham Suffers Heart Attack


David Beckham flew back to the U.K. Thursday after his father, Ted Beckham, suffered a heart attack.

Becks dropped everything and dashed to LAX (see photo) as soon as he was told the news.

"His father has had a heart attack and is currently being treated in [the] hospital," the athlete's rep confirms. "David is flying back to be with him. He is obviously incredibly concerned and wants to be with him."

The elder Beckham, 59, from east London, suffered chest pains Wednesday evening. A London Ambulance Service spokeswoman confirms that its dispatchers were called and arrived just after 9:20 p.m.

Ted Beckham underwent an operation to unblock his artery, his son's rep tells PEOPLE. A spokeswoman at the London Chest Hospital says the elder Beckham is in "stable" condition. He is reported to be in the intensive care unit.

Ted Beckham is divorced from the soccer star's mother, Sandra. Besides David, Ted is also the father of two daughters, Joanne and Lynne.

Victoria who was in Tokyo has also hopped on a plane and is on her way to meet up with her husband.

Let's hope Ted has a speedy recovery.
