"He is doing fine and is returning home for treatment. He is cancelling his performance on the Radio Music Awards (Monday night) and Jimmy Kimmel Live (Tuesday)."

The 30-year-old singer suddenly became ill on Sunday while at a radio forum. When he began coughing up blood he was rushed to the Desert Springs Hospital for treatment.

Bice reportedly underwent emergency surgery in August to remove an intestinal blockage.
