“But unfortunately […] he had a relapse and he’s going back into the hospital on Monday,” Angel shared with TMZ. He revealed that he had been spending time with his son at theme parks beforehand.
“That’s why we’re partly out here in California, because we take Johnny to Disney, I’m taking him to Universal tomorrow.”
