Michaels opened the note by thanking fans for attending his recent shows before explaining his health situation. "Last night, there was a packed pre-show meet & greet and, although I knew my blood sugar was low, I was excited to meet everyone and not let anyone down," he wrote. "Unfortunately, the highs and lows of living with diabetes since I've been 6 years old occasionally just kick my butt," he added, reported People. "Last night, I went on stage and even added a song or two to the set to prove to myself & the fans that I could do it," said Michaels. "At the end, my blood sugar walking off the stage was a real-life 39." Michaels added, "I vow in the near future, I'm going to take that time needed, and please forgive me if I have to move some of the shows around until I get this under control." "The schedule this summer is completely insane - all over the place and some of these will have to be rearranged, as one time I'm in Pennsylvania the next night Montana, one night [Pittsburgh], the next night Oklahoma, and so on," wrote the star. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo His post concluded, "I am forever grateful, but just have to rearrange some of this schedule as everyone knows.
