Musician Michael Grimm was taken to the hospital last week due to an unknown health issue. His wife, Lucie Zolcerva-Grimm, revealed that he is still in the ICU, and she posted an 11-minute video through her husband's official Instagram page, giving an update on his current condition.
Lucie stated that Grimm was hospitalized after he seemed to be sick and there was a change in his behavior. She mentioned that Grimm is unconscious, although he is still breathing.
Lucie said in the video that Grimm has to get one of his vocal cords repaired after being on a ventilator, and this leaves him without any voice. The cause behind his health problems is yet to be disclosed, but his performances in Las Vegas in June and a concert in Arizona in July have been canceled. Lucie added that Grimm will continue performing in August if he gets back to normal by then.
Lucie revealed that Grimm was having problems walking at one point, and she immediately took him to the ER, fearing that something was wrong with him. Lucie believed that Michael had suffered a stroke, but her thoughts turned out to be false in the end. She said that whatever was causing health issues in Michael reached his brain, following which he began talking gibberish.
Lucie said that her husband still remains in bed and will take physical therapy following his recovery. Lucie updated fans by saying that Michael is showing improvement and that he is currently sedated. She added that he is off the ventilator now.
