He said he was taking a break for a couple of months and would return to the stage soon.
In it, he referred to a back surgery that he underwent in the early 2020s.
“That back surgery changed my life,” Chesnutt said.
“I didn’t get the surgery done when I should’ve; I put it off for years.
It got worse, and it got to the point where I wasnt able to work.
Im not 100% where I was, but I’m doing good now.”
Still, he added, “There’s certain things that are hard to do.
I can’t pick up anything heavy, and being on a bus doesn’t help.
But I’m doing a lot better than I was even this time a year ago.”
