Earlier this month, Hayley suffered a medical emergency.
He wrote, “At the end of last night’s tour performance in Washington D.C., my wife Hayley became disoriented with a cranial hematoma from a burst blood vessel and required an emergency craniotomy. She is in stable condition.”
Following the craniotomy, Derek revealed that Hayley would have to go through another surgery to “replace a large portion of that skull that was removed.”
Derek and Hayley just tied the knot in August.
