“It all goes down to the point that we want him to take a break but that’s not in his character, he goes and goes and goes and that’s the joy of his life," Sychak said. She adds that the May 26 date is a hopeful estimate and her brother's doctors have yet to give their official greenlight. For now, they are taking things week by week and focus on other aspects of Michaels' life.
"I think anybody that has to face the reality of losing their life has to face that decision. One of the biggest concerns was his kids. You're not worried about the next concert date, you're worried if your gonna see your daughters again," she added.
"He is just now starting to go through the physical therapy part of it. He works out every single day and for the last three weeks he has been just laying in bed. There’s a lot of atrophy so just getting himself back is going to be a challenge."
