Sum 41 frontman Deryck Whibley shared his current health status in an Instagram post after recently suffering from pneumonia.
The singer started his words by sending his thanks for the support he received:
“I wanted to take a minute to say thank you to everyone for so much love and support. Although I’m not out of the woods of this pneumonia yet and have been told to be prepared for a bit of roller coaster sickness over the next couple of weeks, I’m staying positive and doing my best to get through all of this.”
He then went on to give the details of his health condition at the moment:
“I’m still bed ridden, having a hard time breathing, tight chest pains, and some pretty wild fever dreams that I guess are keeping this whole thing somewhat entertaining. I’m in the best hands and am on the right medicine. I plan on being my absolute best for When We Were Young next month. That’s my goal. Thank you, so much love.”
Last week, the musician’s wife, Ariana, verified on social media that Whibley had been admitted to the hospital on the day they had planned to celebrate their eighth wedding anniversary in Chicago. Later, she updated her followers, mentioning that Deryck had been released after treatment. She wrote on Instagram:
“I’m very happy to be giving this update. Deryck was discharged after responding so well to his treatments. He is now under the care of his mother, who is a registered nurse, and myself. The pressure and strain on his heart and lungs have improved, and he is able to breathe without as much pain. I can’t tell you how truly grateful we are for the community around us.”
Back in 2014, Whibley had to go to the hospital because of severe liver and kidney damage from alcohol abuse. He stayed there for almost a month, and the doctors warned him that having another alcoholic drink could be fatal.
