Following news of the Geto Boys' canceling their Long Goodbye: The Final Farewell tour, member Bushwick Bill has offered more details on why he had to pull out of the tour.

READ: Geto Boys’ Bushwick Bill Has Been Diagnosed with Stage 4 Cancer

The rapper shared an Instagram video on Saturday saying he had been in the hospital since Friday, and was being treated for pneumonia.

"For all y'all out there that thought I was healthy enough to make a tour, I've been in the hospital since May 24," he says. "Interestingly enough, walking pneumonia and [there's] an infection in my blood."

"Now, the rumor is I pulled out on the tour, but if my health was a concern then you would know about my health, not about me pulling out of the tour. This is a health issue. Pancreatic cancer. Chemo therapy gave me pneumonia."

He has since shared another image of himself recovering in the hospital.

TMZ previously reported that the Geto Boys had canceled their Final Farewell tour because Bill felt like the group was trying to capitalize off of his stage 4 pancreatic cancer diagnosis. He was also allegedly upset at the title, which "made it seem like he was on his deathbed."

Bill had responded to the TMZ report with the following Instagram post.
