David Beckham was in a somber mood yesterday as he rushed off from LAX to go visit his ill dad. He had just gotten word that his 59 year-old father had had a heart attack.

Ted Beckham, 59, was taken to the hospital after complaining of chest pains. Sources say that his heart actually stopped on the way to the hospital but was resuscitated by the ambulance crew.

An eyewitness at the airport said: "He was wearing sunglasses but you could tell he had been crying.”

David and his father were not on the best of terms because in 2002 Ted split from wife of 32 years Sandra and 3 years ago he wrote a book about him. Father and son had a very emotional reunion in April.
