King previously suffered the same illness which forced him to cancel some of his performances in October 2014. But then by October 7, King had returned home and posted a message for his fans on his website. He wrote at the time, "I'm back at home now listening to music, watching movies and enjoying some down time. I think I'm busier at home now than on the road talking to friends calling to check up on me. I do appreciate everyone's calls and concern. I want to tell you, I'm doing alright."
