American Pickers star Mike Wolfe’s brother Robbie seen partying at Elvis bash after ex costar Frank Fritz’s stroke
AMERICAN Pickers star Mike Wolfe’s brother Robbie has been seen partying at an Elvis bash.
History Channel star Robbie Wolfe was pictured living it up just two weeks after 56-year-old Frank Fritz’s stroke.
Taking to Instagram, Robbie, 60, shared a photo of himself surrounded by Elvis impersonators at the Bix 7 Road Race in Davenport, Iowa.
He posed with his finger pointed straight ahead just like the numerous lookalikes around him who were taking part in the race.
Robbie appeared to be having a blast at the event, which is held in commemoration of jazz musician Bix Beiderbecke.
Robbie wrote the caption: “Good times Bix Road Race.”

The Illinois native’s brother and fellow American Pickers star Mike, 58, commented with a row of heart emojis.
The update comes just sixteen days after former host Frank suffered a shock stroke.
Robbie is Frank’s replacement as a co-host on the new series of American Pickers.
Mike had been through a falling out with Frank, but he was the one to tell fans about the stroke.

‘PRAY YOU MAKE IT THROUGH’
He took to Instagram to share the sad news and told followers of the show: “Now is the time to pray for my friend. Frank has suffered a stroke and is in the hospital.
"Please keep him in your hearts and thoughts. Frank, I pray more than anything that you make it through this okay. I love you, buddy.”
The Sun has obtained the 911 call made by a friend of Frank’s who found the star at his Iowa farmhouse on July 14, shortly before 11am.
The friend told the dispatcher: "I just showed up at my friend's house here and he was sprawled out on his floor. He can't speak to me. He might be seizuring [sic] I'm not sure.”
Former American Pickers co-host Frank has struggled with alcohol addiction for years and battled Crohn’s Disease, which is a chronic inflammatory bowel condition.
He suffered the stroke just days after his stepdad Richard Zirbes died.
SERIES SNUB
It also came one year after he was fired from his role on American Pickers.
Speaking to The Sun in July 2021, Frank had made it clear that he wanted to return to The History Channel, while viewers are missing him dearly.
He said at the time: “I would like to come back to the show. I was doing it for 11 years.”
Frank had initially taken a break from filming to recover from back surgery, but he wasn’t invited to film the new series.

He claimed the network wouldn't give him a straight answer about returning, as he added: “They talk out of both sides of their mouth. It would be like me telling you I want to go back on the show and then tomorrow going, ‘I never said that, I never said anything about that.'
“The showrunner called me on my birthday on October 11 of last year and he said ‘I’ll call you back tomorrow,’ but I haven’t heard from those people at all. They don’t contact me.”
