Danny Bonaduce Reveals He's Having Brain Surgery After Neurological Disorder Left Him Unable To Walk

Radio personality and former Partridge Family actor Danny Bonaduce announced he will be undergoing brain surgery.

This comes after he took a leave of absence from his radio show in late 2022 as he and his medical team worked to diagnose what was then a mystery illness.

It turns out Bonaduce has hydrocephalus—or "water on the brain"—and will be undergoing brain surgery to correct the issue. First, he will receive a shunt to remove the pressure on his brain, then further surgery will be explored.

He revealed he currently cannot walk.

He remained optimistic about his future post-surgery.

"I can't walk, currently. I just can't....I'm never gonna box again, but if I can get from here to the kitchen on my own, then Bravo!"

People were quick to wish Bonaduce a safe and healthy recovery after such uncertainty while his medical team figured out what was going on.

Others shared what they had been through with similar issues.

Those from the Seattle region where Bonaduce's radio show was broadcast chimed in with well wishes.

Someone commented on how it feels to watch celebrities get ill.

Bonaduce's surgery and recovery will keep from his radio work a bit longer, but he and his medical team remain optimistic.
