Earlier this year, Michael was forced to cancel his upcoming performances due to ongoing tinnitus health-related issues.
He later informed fans that his condition was more serious and his symtoms were due to a ‘more serious’ neurological concern.
In a video posted online, he said: I’m doing alright. Long story short, I had some tinnitus and they did a bunch of tests on that but it turns out it’s more of a neurological problem within my brain and the 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 now and they’re doing lots of tests and hopefully, I should get some answers soon and get to start some treatment and then get back out there.’
At the time, Michael received a wealth of support from his fellow DJs in the industry and his fans in the comments section of the post.
