Krayzie Bone of Bone Thugs-N-Harmony is battling sarcoidosis. The same auto-immune disease that took the life of Bernie Mac.
Via the Mayo Clinic:
Sarcoidosis is the growth of tiny collections of inflammatory cells (granulomas) in different parts of your body — most commonly the lungs, lymph nodes, eyes and skin.
Doctors believe sarcoidosis results from the body's immune system responding to an unknown substance, most likely something inhaled from the air.
There is no cure for sarcoidosis, but most people do very well with little or only modest treatment. In half of cases, sarcoidosis goes away on its own. In a few cases, however, sarcoidosis may last for years and may cause organ damage.
Krayzie told TMZ that he believes he came down with a severe case of pneumonia while touring Canada because his sarcoidosis medication weakens his immune system.
The rapper was advised by his doctors to cancel the remaining Canadian dates and return to Los Angeles for treatment.
Krayzie promised his fans via Instagram and Twitter that he would complete the tour once he is physically able to.
Canada thank you for your support sorry I had to cut it short due to sickness but I will be back to make those dates up soon! Much love
