Singer-songwriter Duncan Sheik is hospitalized in critical but stable condition, according to a statement from his family. The announcement was made on Wednesday, September 16, via a post on the artist's official Instagram account. The family's statement provided limited details about the 56-year-old's health. "Duncan is currently receiving medical care and remains in critical but stable condition," the post read. "Out of respect for Duncan and our family, we will not be sharing any further medical details at this time. We kindly ask for privacy during this incredibly difficult time and will provide updates when appropriate." The cause of Sheik's hospitalization has not been publicly disclosed. A representative for the artist did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Social media posts from Sheik himself indicate he has been in a hospital for several weeks. On August 20, he posted a photo with the caption, "I would prefer to be home making music. But a bit of reflection is not too bad boring hospital stays have their benefits outside the obvious." A subsequent post on September 6 included the message, "Sorry for the selfies. But I'm still bored in hospital.
