The band had reportedly gone on stage Thursday to tell fans Michaels had suffered a “bad reaction” to medication.
Michaels was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes when he was 6. It’s unclear if that had anything to do with his hospitalization. TMZ reported it may have also been linked to the coronavirus.

I’m determined to try to rock Jacksonville & return for a Nashville show someday soon.”
