Dallas-Fort Worth television station KDFW reported that Hanson was diagnosed with a pulmonary embolism, which occurs when a blood clot in the extremities breaks away and travels to the lungs.

Taylor Hanson, 24, told the TV station that his brother was doing well.

Hanson, which also includes 21-year-old brother Zac Hanson, is best known for their 1997 hit single, "MMMBop."
