Plastic surgeon Dr. Jan Adams canceled his appearance on CNN’s “Larry King Live” Tuesday at the request of the family of the late Donda West.  Recent reports say that Adams, the doctor who performed cosmetic surgery on Kanye West’s mother shortly before she died earlier this month, was previously sued for malpractice and was arrested for drunken driving. 

Authorities in Los Angeles are currently investigating the death of Donda West, who died of complications from the surgery and who was buried Tuesday - the same day Adams was scheduled to be interviewed by King.  Adams appeared after the first commercial break and told King he had made the decision not to be interviewed on the show.  

Before removing his earpiece and walking off the show, Adams told King:

“I had come here to talk about things in the press that aren’t accurate about me. But I have a tremendous amount of love and respect for the West family and they’ve asked me not to go on.”

The show abruptly went into commercial.

Alan Tenenbaum, Adams’ attorney, later said his client had received a letter from attorneys who represent the West family, asking him not to appear on the show.
