He suffered vocal paralysis in 2024 after a near-fatal bout of sepsis. “As I was trying to stay alive, at times they sent me home from the hospital, and I’d be there with [my dog] Tommy Jack. My body was blowing up and there was a toxicity of some type or whatever. “If it would have erupted, I would have died. In the last moment, I had a prayer answered.

He also mentioned that his daughter Noah’s song, “Don’t Put It All on Me”, saved his life. And his 5-year-old grandson helped him find the light in life by telling him to, quote, “try again”.
