I wanted to take a min to say thank you to everyone for so much love and support. Although I’m not out of the woods yet and have been told to be prepared for a bit of roller coaster sickness over the next couple of weeks, I’m staying positive and doing my best to get through all… pic.twitter.com/YJO89dYY5Z

“I’m still bedridden, having a hard time breathing, tight chest pains, and some pretty wild fever dreams, that I guess are keeping this whole thing somewhat entertaining.”

He continued writing, “I’m in the best hands and am on the right medicine. I plan on being my absolute best for When We Were Young next month. That’s my goal. Thank you, so much love Deryck.”

Whibley’s wife Ari also posted a statement to Instagram, saying “Deryck and I were supposed to be in Chicago right now, celebrating our eight-year wedding anniversary but the universe had a different plan for us. We spent the entire night in the ER and will now be spending the next few days here in the hospital as he fights through pneumonia.”
