Lucy Zulcerva Grimm He said on instagram On Monday, her 44-year-old husband was taken off her ventilator after being hospitalized in intensive care for at least two weeks.
His wife stated that doctors recently placed the Las Vegas-based singer in the intensive care unit after he appeared “ill” and behaved in a “boiling” manner.
“He’s no longer sedated…a bit awake now,” Zulcerva-Grim said in a video shared to his more than 8,000 followers on the platform after his health issues became public last week.
Although he does not have a strong enough voice to communicate, his wife said “his voice is slowly coming back” and he is being weaned off the medications prescribed to him by doctors.
