The source carried a "slight good news" for his fans, confirming that the past 24 hours have seen a gradual improvement, as the artist's body has started to respond to treatment and showed slight motor reactions in the hand and foot, which doctors deemed a positive indicator of regaining part of his consciousness, despite still remaining in intensive care until his condition stabilizes completely.
