Corey Feldman assured his fans that after a scary in-flight health emergency that was widely reported upon in the media, he’s actually fine and it was all a “misdiagnosis.”
Feldman shared a video of himself to Instagram Wednesday evening, appearing in good health, and discussing “a brand new rocker” song he’s working on while apparently in a recording studio.
He wrote in all caps as a caption to the post: “I WANTED 2 TOUCH BASE AFTER THAT BIG OL HEALTH SCARE & LET U ALL KNOW IM ALIVE & WELL!”
“IT WAS A BIG SCARE BCUZ A DR MISDIAGNOSED ME & THEN SOME1 ON THE MEDICAL STAFF SENT THAT MISDIAGNOSIS 2 THE MEDIA IN REAL TIME, BASED ON THE RESULT OF A PRELIMINARY BLOOD TEST!” he added.
“HOWEVER IT WAS ONLY FOOD POISONING THANK GOD,” the actor, 54, clarified. “ILL BE OK. NOW BACK 2 ROCK N ROLL….”
The “Goonies” star was rushed to the hospital after his flight from Chicago to Los Angeles landed at LAX Monday afternoon, as first reported by TMZ.
A source close to Feldman told the outlet the ’80s teen star was feeling sick on the flight and was checked out by a fellow passenger who happened to be a doctor.
Feldman had been in in Chicago for an anniversary celebration for the film “Stand By Me,” which co-stars Jerry O’Connell and Wil Wheaton also attended Sunday.
Late that evening, Feldman shared a carousel of photos and videos to Instagram of him driving to Chicago for the event. He stopped by Michael Jackson’s childhood home in Gary, Indiana, for an impromptu visit to “pay respects” to the late singer.
As for the new tune he’s working on, Feldman is releasing a new single titled “What Am I Here 4” on June 22. His new social media post appears to be a sneak preview for fans.
“POIGNANT TIMING EH?” he wrote in the caption.
He said in his video, “I don’t even know what it’s called yet, it’s that brand new. But I like it, we like it, we’re all digging it, it’s pretty freaking cool, I think you’re going to dig it, too.”
The Wednesday social media upload, Feldman is seen in the studio playing drums on the new song as his bandmates jammed along and behind the mic in the recording booth laying down tracks.
