Leah added, “As hilarious and wise as David continues to be, he is physically debilitated and his care exceeds what we are capable of providing without specialized professional help.”
For his part, David also provided an update, emphasizing that the severity of the situation supersedes his desire to handle his health difficulties on his own.
“We’ve been living with my illness for a long time, still having fun, seeing friends and family, carrying on,” David said in a statement published in Rolling Stone Feb. 10, “but this tumble the day after Thanksgiving really brought us to a whole new level of debilitation.”
He added, “This is the worst pain I’ve ever experienced in my entire life. I’ve never been one to ask for help, but this is an emergency. Thank you.”
