The actor started his video by wishing everyone happy holidays before telling everyone that he’s on the “road to a full recovery,” though not quite there yet.
“Some of you may or may not know that I was in the hospital very ill this fall with urosepsis,” Billy said. “It was not easy. It’s been a very, very challenging four months. And I want everybody to know that I am on the road to a full recovery. I’m not there yet, but I’m on the road to that.”
According to the Cleveland Clinic, urosepsis starts in the urinary tract and can quickly become life-threatening if not treated immediately.
“I wanted to thank everybody for your prayers, and your love, and sending me all the vibes. I felt every single one of them. I know that I’m alive today,” he concluded.
Back in September, Billy had to exit a production of Cabaret early due to his diagnosis.
In the post caption, he also promoted his new movie Christmas Karma, now on Amazon Prime in select locations.
