Sum 41’s Deryck Whibley Hospitalized with Pneumonia

Sum 41 frontman Deryck Whibley has been hospitalized with pneumonia.

Whibley’s wife, Ari, said in a social media post that her husband will spend the next several days in the hospital due to the possibility of heart failure.

“I know how strong he is because I have witnessed what he has been able to overcome but that doesn’t make it any easier to se,” Ari wrote in an Instagram post. I’ll do my best to keep everyone updated but if you could keep him in your heart over the next few days, we could really use it.”

Whibley, 43, was previously hospitalized in 2014 for severe liver and kidney damage due to alcoholism.

Earlier this year, Sum 41 announced their intention to disband following the release of a final album and tour. They recently completed a summer tour alongside The Offspring and Simple Plan.
