However, things took a turn amid the pandemic when he "missed going in for a test, which was not a good thing," His cancer mutated and he suffered fractures in his bones, and tumors up and down his spine. It led to paraplegia, or paralysis of the lower body. He's currently undergoing chemo, which is "aggressively" fighting the disease.
