Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter Duncan Sheik, known for his 1990s hit "Barely Breathing," has been hospitalized and is currently undergoing medical treatment, according to a statement on his Instagram page. The statement, released on Wednesday, revealed that Sheik is in "critical but stable" condition and requested privacy for his family during this difficult time.

He expressed gratitude for the public's support and promised to provide updates as appropriate. Prior to the announcement, Sheik had shared updates from his hospital bed and apologized for posting selfies, acknowledging the boredom he experienced during his stay. He also reflected on the benefits of hospital stays for quiet reflection.

The illness occurred at a busy time in Sheik's career, as he recently composed the score for a new musical adaptation and an off-Broadway revival of his 2006 hit "Spring Awakening" is set to begin previews later this autumn.
