Krayzie Bone, one of 1990’s group Bone thugs-n-harmony’s founding members, tells TMZ that he suffers from an autoimmune disease called sarcoidosis.

This disorder mainly effects the lungs and lymph nodes and is characterized by abnormal collections of inflammatory cells. This is the same conditioned that led to the death of comedian Bernie Mac.

Krayzie Bone’s doctors advised him to take no chances once he fell ill and ordered him to return to Los Angles for treatment.

The medicine he takes to treat his sarcoidosis is said to have caused the weakening of his immune system, which exacerbated the pneumonia.

He plans to make up the tour dates in April.

Krayzie Bone and Bone thugs-n-harmony recently said they do not plan on releasing an album that would cost $1 million as initially reported.
