Earlier this year, Michael had to cancel his upcoming performances due to ongoing health issues with tinnitus.
He later informed fans that his condition was more serious and that his symptoms were due to a “more serious” neurological problem.
In a video posted online, he said: I am fine. Long story short, I had some tinnitus and they ran some tests on that, but it turns out it’s more of a neurological problem in my brain and brain stem.
“So yeah, the doctors don’t know exactly what’s going on or what it is yet, but I’m in the hospital right now and they’re doing a lot of testing and hopefully I’ll get some answers soon and start treatment and then go back to outside.’
During that time, Michael received a wealth of support from his fellow DJs in the industry and his fans in the comments section of the post.
Joseph Capriati, wrote, “You will get through this brother. Sending love and support.”
