Frankie Grande is on the road to recovery, as evidenced by a recent Instagram post shared from the hospital following a successful cervical spine surgery. The singer, whose younger sister is Ariana Grande, posed with a neck brace in the picture, captioning it on December 22: "Wink if you're freshly repaired."
Frankie, 42, shared that the procedure was planned to alleviate pressure on the nerves in his neck that had been causing him pain and neurological symptoms for some time. He praised the "incredible" medical team for their work, explaining that they removed bone and tissue that were compressing the nerves, giving his spinal cord, disks, and radiating nerves the space they needed to heal and function properly.
He added, "I'm sore, I'm tired, but I'm safe, I'm relieved, and I'm already feeling hopeful. This was a necessary step so I can get back on my feet, back on stage, and back to living fully without pain running the show."
Frankie concluded his post with gratitude for the love, prayers, messages, and support he received. "This is healing in progress," he wrote. "See you soon... stronger, steadier, and standing tall."
The post generated a flood of well-wishes from fans and friends, including Imogen Heap, who commented: "Wow! Heavy! Glad it went well and you're all good. Someone to help spoon in the Christmas dinner this year?" Frankie responded by saying that his husband Hale Grande was "all over it hehe!"
