"Thank you to everyone who's checked in on me and showed me love! I'm good... but I'm planning to be better!" he wrote in a post. "I'm focused on my family, my recovery, and getting back to the music… realizing that life is made up of quiet wins and loud losses…."
He added, "Life's a gamble and I'm still playing to win."
