The fall illness forced his early exit from Cabaret per medical advice.

Overview

  • He shared a Dec. 22 Instagram video saying he remains unwell but is progressing toward full recovery after a severe urosepsis bout.
  • He thanked fans for support, saying he felt their prayers, and captioned the post, "She’s ALIVE!!! Proof of life, PTL!!!"
