Former Review-Journal columnist Norm Clarke is in hospice care in Las Vegas.
The 82-year-old journalist, best known for writing the R-J’s widely read celebrity news column “Vegas Confidential” from 1999-2016, has ceased treatment for cancer. Clarke was originally diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2001. He was transferred to hospice care last week.
On Friday Clarke received copies of his new autobiography, “The Power of the Patch,” the fifth book he wrote throughout his storied career. The new book will be donated to journalism programs and not available in wide release.
