He had been missing from the stage for about two months, prompting rumors on the Internet that he had died earlier this year.

Earlier this month, Brown was at Hopkins where he was admitted after complaining of arthritis.

Doctors discovered blood clots in his legs. The blood clots were removed, but Brown also contracted pneumonia while hospitalized.
