Sufjan Stevens diagnosed with Guillain-Barre Syndrome, can't walk

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guillain–Barré_syndrome

Although the cause is unknown, the underlying mechanism involves an autoimmune disorder in which the body's immune system mistakenly attacks the peripheral nerves and damages their myelin insulation.[3] Sometimes this immune dysfunction is triggered by an infection or, less commonly, by surgery, and rarely, by vaccination...Globally, death occurs in approximately 7.5% of those affected.[1] Guillain–Barré syndrome is rare, at 1 or 2 cases per 100,000 people every year.

Sad deal, and I hope he recovers soon.

I wonder how long before the claim it was ?
