Johnny Kats from the Las Vegas Review-Journal is reporting that Michael Grimm, winner of season 5 of America’s Got Talent, is currently in a Las Vegas hospital and not doing well.

According to the article, Grimm started becoming ill near the end of May. The singer being rushed to an undisclosed hospital on May 30th. His health had been wavering in recent weeks. His skin becoming discolored, his speech becoming incoherent and his blood pressure climbing. He’s been in the intensive care unit for over a week now, and has not been all there.

His wife Lucie, who Michael famously proposed to on Ellen after beating Jackie Evancho in the finale of America’s Got Talent, took to his social media accounts to give fans a briefing on what has been going on with Michael’s health.

Grimm has been unable to perform his shows at Tuscany Suites during this health battle. His manager also cancelled dates throughout the summer. This has left the singer with a rapidly dwindling savings account and leaving Lucie, who wants nothing more than for her husband to walk out of the hospital alive and healthy, asking for help.

How can you help Michael Grimm in his battle?

Fans are encouraged to drop a time on Michael’s Venmo, via a PayPal donation (which will have fees taken out), or if a direct donation isn’t singing to you, buy his music wherever it is sold.

If you want to send words of encouragement, you’re asked to send them to: Tinane Entertainment, Attn: Michael Grimm, 8414 W. Farm Rd, Suite 180 PMB 225, Las Vegas Nv 89131.

Fellow Las Vegas performer Mark O’Toole is working on an upcoming benefit show to help with Michael’s medical expenses. That is expected to take place July 9th at Veil Pavilion at Silverton Casino.

What You Missed On Aimee+Shawn The Last Couple Weeks

We don’t know who told Shawn he could take time off from the show, but the reality is – he did. It doesn’t mean there hasn’t been some good stuff over the last couple weeks on Aimee+Shawn!

Before he went off on a trip to the east coast and Canada, Shawn bumped into a former viewer of his. He would watch “Las Vegas Morning Blend” constantly. Where? In prison. Shawn had a ton of questions like “what were you in for” and “what did you do to get in there”… but he didn’t ask any of them because he’s a chicken.

While that was about Shawn’s former job, Aimee is more concerned about her next job. A company claims to have a job up for grabs that will pay you to try margaritas in Las Vegas. She has already put in her application. Shawn is convinced this job is fake… but Aimee will not be told otherwise.

Both Aimee and Shawn grew up on the bubble of time between helicopter parents and “don’t come inside until the streetlights come on”. They recalled the beginning of the 10 O’Clock News where they lived… where the broadcast would remind parents to check to see where their kids are. That’s… insane right?!

Shawn is sucking in his gut a little harder at the station nowadays after his co-worker called out his tummy in a meeting. If doing the same thing in return could get him fired, is it OK?

Aimee’s house is under attack by bugs, and no not grasshoppers. Moths and bees are causing her family major problems and she has the bruises to prove it.

What’s happening on Aimee+Shawn next week?

November 24th at T-Mobile Arena, Enrique Iglesias, Ricky Martin and Pitbull will be turning up the heat with their Trilogy Tour! Aimee+Shawn will have tickets all week long! Listen at 7:35 and 8:35 to win!
