\"You have no idea the effect you have on us as entertainers your energy, your support,\" he said. \"It means the world and I truly want to thank you guys for being there for me in my difficult time.\"

\"I swear, life is funny,\" he says in the video. \"Because some of the craziest things that happen to you end up being the thing that you needed most. And in this case, I honestly feel like God basically told me to sit down.\"

He also shared an inspiring message about appreciating life's moments.

\"Don't take today for granted because tomorrow's not promised,\" he continued. \"I'm thankful for simply still being here; the road to being a bigger and better version of me. Looking forward to an amazing 2020.\"
