“It’s been an emotional ride,” Lucie said.
She revealed that Michael, who won season 5 of the reality television show America’s Got Talent, has been hospitalized since Memorial Day, as first reported by TMZ.
Michael hadn’t been feeling well, Lucie said, and his condition worsened to the point where he could barely walk or lift his head.
She said Michael had been struggling through performances in recent months and “lacking energy.”
Lucie said Michael’s blood pressure shot up when he went to the emergency room and he began talking gibberish, so he was taken to the ICU.
He was placed on a ventilator which has since been removed.
The singer is unconscious but is breathing on his own.

However, the cause of the illness is unclear.
“We don’t know what’s wrong,” Lucie said.
“He has a phenomenal team of doctors.”
Lucie said that Michael will need to fully regain consciousness and then begin physical therapy because he has been bedridden.
“I just need everyone to keep Michael in their prayers.”
Lucie had canceled some June shows and announced that some July dates will also be axed.
“He won’t be making public appearances anytime soon,” she said.
Tributes have poured in after Lucie asked for prayers for Michael.
“Our dear friend Michael Grimm is in critical condition and needs our love and support, not only in Vegas, but around the country,” wrote Mark OToole.
“He’s been a staple to so many and now it’s our turn to get this man healthy and show him how much we care.”
OToole shared that a benefit will be held in support of Michael on July 9.
