Celia went on to say, "We are not being coy when we say this is a 'mystery illness.' In layman's terms, his balance sucks- super sucks." While Celia didn't detail the said illness, she assured fans that "all the great medical minds of Seattle are at work trying to solve this conundrum."

I'm taking a temporary medical leave from my radio show," he shared at the time. "I'll share more when I know more. I'm still working towards receiving a diagnosis. What I know is, I need time to focus on my health. I love my job and talking to you guys & I'll be back on the air soon."
Among those who sent well-wishes for the "Baker's Hawk" star was Mark Hamill. "Wishing my Corvette Summer co-star a complete & speedy recovery," so the "Star Wars: The Last Jedi" actor wrote. To that, Danny responded, "I appreciate it. Thanks, man."
In a follow-up tweet, Danny seemed to be in good spirits despite his illness. "Charlie Chaplin, Willy Wonka, Danny Bonaduce. I've joined the club of cool guys with canes," he joked.
