After over a year of battling an undisclosed health issue, Danny Bonaduce has finally received a diagnosis. The 63-year-old former child star shared with TMZ that he has been diagnosed with hydrocephalus, a condition characterized by an accumulation of fluid in the brain. To address this, Bonaduce is scheduled to undergo brain surgery on May 29, during which doctors will implant a shunt in his head to alleviate the fluid build-up.
Since April 2022, the actor and professional wrestler, known for his role in 'The Partridge Family', has been experiencing difficulties with walking and balance. Despite consulting with numerous doctors, it was only recently that he received an official diagnosis. Since Danny Bonaduce's health update came out, fans have been truly supportive of his recovery.

Celia mentioned that Danny felt the love from the messages and even enjoyed Dairy Queen-dipped cones. However, she acknowledged that the nature of his illness remained a mystery, saying, "We are not being coy when we say this is a 'mystery illness'. In layman's terms, his balance sucks - super sucks."
