  • Michael Grimm, winner of Season 5 of "America's Got Talent," has been hospitalized due to an unknown illness and is currently sedated in intensive care.
  • Grimm has been unconscious for over a week but was recently taken off a ventilator and is now breathing on his own.
  • The cause of Grimm's illness is still unknown, though it was first thought to potentially be a stroke which has since been ruled out.
  • Grimm will require vocal chord surgery after damage from intubation and will undergo physical therapy once he recovers enough to be taken out of sedation.
  • Concerts for Grimm in June and July have been canceled, though his wife hopes he will recover in time for August shows.
