Billy Porter has shared an update on his health after being hospitalised with a serious case of urosepsis in September 2025 – cutting his Broadway run as the Emcee of ‘Cabaret’ short. In a video message posted to social media on December 22 2025, the Tony and Emmy award-winner told fans: “I’m here, first and foremost, to say happy holidays, Merry Christmas, Happy Kwanzaa, Happy Hanukkah, and everything in between. Some of you may or may not know that I was in the hospital very ill this fall with urosepsis. It was not easy. It’s been a very, very challenging four months. And I want everybody to know that I am on the road to a full recovery. I’m not there yet, but I’m on the road to that.” He added: “And I wanted to thank everybody for your prayers and your love and sending me all the vibes. I felt every single one of them. And I know that I’m alive today because of my fans.” #BillyPorter #Sepsis #cabaret #pose #lgbtqia
