Johnny recently shared a note on Instagram that he has fractured his ankle, which said, “Dear friends, I am sorry to say that I have fractured my ankle, which is a drag!!!

Several medical professionals have strongly suggested I avoid any and all activity for the moment and so am sadly unable to travel at this time.”
