The singer has been suffering from several health issues all these years. He was diagnosed with diabetes when he was just six. He was admitted to the hospital in 2010 after suffering numbness on the left side of his body. Diagnostic tests revealed a hole in the heart, although the doctor said it could be treated.


He had previously suffered a brain hemorrhage in 2010 and also spoke about it on the occasion of its anniversary in 2020. He said that he was grateful for being able to celebrate the anniversary and continued,

"But how iconic that it is literally 10 years to the moment when the show airs, it was airing the exact time that they were operating at night on my brain. Who knew that this would all come full circle on April 22? On my kids' life, my life, I had no idea that any of this would line up."

Following surgery for a hole in his heart in 2011, he said that he felt good and blessed and knew it wasn't his time to go. He stated that working with charities and helping others has become essential.
