 America's Got Talent winner Michael Grimm is improving after being rushed to hospital with a mystery health condition. Earlier this year, the 44-year-old was taken to intensive care and placed on a ventilator while doctors got to the bottom of his issues. In a new video posted on his Facebook page by his wife, Lucie, she shared some 'positive updates' after a tough few weeks. She explained that spending time on the ventilator caused a 'disconnect' between the musician's mind and body, meaning that he had to relearn his speech and movement. 'He has been through a lot, it came on completely unexpectedly,' she began. 'I'm thrilled to say that his speaking voice is completely back and he's in full speaking voice. The speech therapy portion of it has been very successful. 'They are starting on vocal exercises. He doesn't have a singing voice yet … He is not stressed over it. He feels that with proper vocal exercises and retraining he will get back on track.

He is walking on his own and that's a huge thing for us. 'Getting that leg strength back, and getting his coordination and equilibrium back – those are all massive things. That's probably his biggest win right now.' However, Lucie revealed that their health insurance didn't come through in time to cover the costs, with bills passing the $200,000 mark. Despite the illness, she shared that Michael is itching to get back on the stage and perform for fans.

'He is suffering from a little bit of PTSD from being on the ventilator, I'm told that's pretty common. 'He is very motivated. He is anxiou){kind=link}
