Tank, who was in the same music group with Tyrese Gibson and Ginuwine, has been in the music industry for more than two decades and his latest revelation had fans flocking to his Instagram page to wish him well and a quick recovery.
The 45-year-old shared a video on his Instagram page talking about his situation and using it to encourage people to keep fighting, regardless of how tough things hit them.
This is what he shared online:
"So I am going through something right now and I wanted to use my situation to encourage you. I am going completely deaf on my right ear and kinda losing sound on my left ear, I am dizzy and can't walk in a straight line and all this from nowhere, I don't know how or why.
Seeing doctors, done an MRI and is on medication. It still has not given me a reason to give up. Still hasn't given me a reason to stop doing and be who I want to be. Keep going, keep pushing,'' he said.
He, however, shared an update after getting his MRI results. He said the doctors had not found anything serious with his brain and is hopeful that he will get the proper medication that will enable him to continue doing what he loves the most.

In positive news for people with hearing disabilities, Briefly News recently spotlighted Sjava, who's making his music more accessible to deaf people. The musician took to social media to share that his music videos will have sign language interpretation from now on.
The move was inspired by Sjava wanting deaf people to also get a chance to appreciate his craft.
His post read:
“Good morning I have always wanted to do this it’s finally happening going forward all my music videos will include sign language for deaf people to understand as well what I am saying in my music.”
