The Maui musician and popular entertainer, who has been battling cancer, was reportedly taken by ambulance to the Maui Memorial Medical Center for treatment.

In a subsequent update at 2:35 a.m., Willie K posted a video from his hospital bed saying, “I’m doing good. I just had a little relapse because I was dehydrated.”
The earlier post stated: “We are so very thankful for all the love and support bestowed upon not only to Willie and his family but to also his Maui Tribe ʻohana. We are blessed to have so much love showered upon us. Willie is stable and will be kept overnight in the hospital for observations. Please continue to pray for him. ?❤.”
