They need to meet and all heal !!!!!! This was a brotherhood we fell in love with !!!!!!
Amen to that, he is holding onto the stress still it sounds, sounds like he misses the group but also wishes them well, I agree 100% with you, they need to meet and bond again, now older and mature, they realize mistakes and realizes they need inner healing that meet can be a healing to help him and for them to forgive, and makeup and the group can let them know he is there for him, as brotha's they've started out to be, til "The End of the Road". We miss y'all B2M!
I agree
They should have immediately reached out to him and apologized, but sometime members of a group can only focus in money and leave those behind whobare truly hurting. True Friends dont do friends like that.
Yes🙏 They said they reached out to him but that he wanted to much money but idk how true that is
It's a big world
They need to leave each other TF alone.
My heart aches for Michael🥺He just was not ready to tell everyone his diagnosis.I love the group they are one of the best singing groups ever!! I pray that Michael & the group can talk it out!! Love you all♥️
I saw BoyzIIMen (3 members) in Philadelphia just before the pandemic they were outstanding! It's unfortunate what happened to the 4th member (Michael) but he has to take responsibility for not communicating. The Group did the right thing by going on without him! Prayers for healing!!
I actually thought he would be speaking in this video. I wasn't expecting someone else to tell me what he said. Smh....oh well🤷♂️
i stopped watching the video immediately i noticed that
Thanks for shareing the info! Save me some time💪🏾
IKR! stupid video
Exactly!! How do we know he's made that statement? Why can't we just hear it from Mike himself?
@@brandonnash4455 LOL!! Aight!!
He was my favorite member. I love and miss hearing his voice. It’s sad what he has to suffer through. 🙏🏾
Mine too
we're living in the age of breakthroughs, and I've heard good things with that dealing with MS.
He was my favorite as well
People Die From MS
He made me laugh everytime he came on but I was young lol
Stupid background music is unbearable and distracting!!!
Shit was like a 80s video game
@@onthefence1492 lmao I actually thought I had another tab opened playing some game lol
🙏🙏🙏
Just...Awful...
@@onthefence1492 LOL...LOL...Right...Right...
Turn that damn cheesy background music off... it's really annoying!
slimtee2 hate it to
I agree, it was hard to hear what he was saying. He needs to repost without the music.
It is
Please!!!
@paulo styles offended much?!
Praying for Michael....MS is very serious. A cure has not been found, most patients go into a deep depression due to pain and limited mobility.
So true.
This story was sad. I too have MS and the mind plays with you. You don’t want to share the details of the pain as one day you seem totally fine the next you aren’t. And it slowly destroys you physically and emotionally. Not enough awareness or help is available. Praying for Michael as well.
That background music is the reason he left the group......
Bwahahhahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
😭😭😂😂😂😂😭😂😂😭 The background music makes me want to either A: Watch a corny 1980s teen movie or B: Play Mike Tyson's Punch Out
lmaooo
Lmao
hahaahah gold
I too have MS so I definitely can relate to how he feels but I'm glad he is doing ok. God bless him!🙏🥰
🥰🥰🙏
How do you know if you have ms?
I had to have an MRI and spinal tap done. Thats the only way the doctors can really make the diagnosis. Especially if they see lesions on the brain or spine along with any symptons ur having like numbness, vision loss, balance walking problems, etc..i had all of them and more after I caught the flu in 08. It was crazy!
Beverly Collins, I'm a MS survivor myself, diagnosed in 2008.
@@mrssalimaroseel-amiin5802 God Bless sis! I know having this disease is a battle but with God and pr0ayer we gonna be alright!🙏😊
Sometimes if you don't tell your closest folks what you're going through then you leave them frustrated with you. If you know what the problem is then tell somebody. Everybody needs some encouragement but even doctors can't help you if you don't tell them the truth.
Boyz II Men is some of the most talented singers on the planet. The current sound of the 3 members is still amazing but when you add Michael McCary to the mix the sound is Angelic. We need him back in the group for at least one more album and one last tour if his health would allow him to
Truly!!
did Michael go back to your brothers have a positive conversation with them and try to reunite life is short you don't want to miss the opportunity of making peace before it's too late love you brother hang in there God will heal you just aski not just your body but your mind
YESSSSS!
FYI the back ground music was distracting and reporting something that serious we did not need al that noise in the background. I pray for his health and that he finds peace
He's promoting his new album.
Yesssssss
It's so sad that he felt the need to carry the burden of having that illness alone and allowed himself to lose his friends and his wife. I hope he received enough help so that he can let go of his anger at those who had no idea of what he was going through.
What u talking about, "allowed himself to lose his friends"? When you're plagued by illness and/or depression you don't give yourself permission to suffer.
I will always love boyz to men FOREVERMORE all four members
Never forget seeing them in concert and they still sounded good!!
The problem with Michael is that, he didnt tell his crew that he has major problem, he just made a distance without knowing whats happening, and so his bandmate thought that he never like to perform with them anymore.
You cant just have some random ass music playing in a documentary about a legendary group like this ESPECIALLY AFTER you played some of their music.
Epic fail
I had to stop watching...it's distracting!
He didn't grow up listening to this type of music, it's just simply another mini doc video to edit, get done and get views/ad revenue
Some random ass 8bit piece of shit at that kmt 😑
So true!!!!!!
Since his departure. The group has never been the same.
Nawlinz Kid I always miss his voice.
I agree
You better listen to their new material.
@@PopCultureCarnivore1 I love the old material
AGREED
Yes his presence is definitely missed! I pray total healing for his body in Jesus name
Boyz II Men are legends !!! Always !
Would love to hear him sing again.
Boyz 2 Men were such a big Force in the 90z .. can't talk about the 90z without talking bout these Kingz
I was shocked when I heard that he has MS. I have it, too. So I can relate so much. He is strong and he needs so much support. He has my support.
I love Boyz II Men ever since I was a boy growing up. They inspired me to sing & I still hold Michael McCary to the highest regard. It's ashame his health prevented him from continuing to be in the group
One of my favorite groups of all times ❤️🙏🏽
That's really too bad. I loved him in the group. His voice was so soothing. I still like Boyz II Men, but it hasn't been the same since he left. Regardless, I wish them all the best. They're definitely one of my all time favorites.
Still be there for him. MS is not a joke and other illness. . No one can ever understand living with a illness. When your striving grinding to be successful I could imagine how he felt when MS came into his life. I guess he would feel a broken bond because he was crying out and because Boy to Men was transitioning that cane first selfish. You have to.be with a person through all the the good and bad that real friends. Some people dont take the time to understand what a person go through. Michael you have to also give a person a chance to understand to Hoping you in a good supportive church friends families and your kids are in your life.I will be praying for you keep God close to you he will see you through all of this. Lraise yiur way by saying thank you
How can they be there for him if he never told them what was going on? That’s what I don’t understand
They clowned him tho in interviews about the money for singing on records they said to think a person would get paid for just talking on records and they laughed it off
Sir-Weslynn Jones czcams.com/video/etXUZOBgG5c/video.html
Specially if you are in your 20s and you are in a successful singing gro6
Pls turn that music down or off.
This video lost all credibility when he called Wanya "Wayman" 🙄
Agreed
They also said John stockton.lol
Lol my given name is actually Wayne, but people call me Trey because I'm the 3rd person in my family with the name, and when I watched it I was pretty sure I heard him say "Wayne" with a uh on the end of it like Wayne- uh Morris lol
We love you Mike! Thank you for the joy you brought to my life back in the day
Much love to you my brother, I have a family member that passed away from MS. I feel that you should share your struggles with your family and bandmates true love and support will always come out. I am praying for your strength and healing.
Mike, we miss you. I too, have MS. So to some extent I know what you are going through. My advice continue to live your life. Choose yourself. Stay strong.My wish is for the four of you to reunite and continue to make great music. God Bless, Alina.
Sorry for his situation... The group can't stay stagnant they did what was right. Stay unified ✊🏽
So sad still miss that brother in the group, I wish he at least talks about anything he went through with his former band mates. God bless this brother!
I know what he's going through I've been battling it since 2003 and yes sometimes its painful I experienced the paralyzes from day one told i wouldn't walk again it took me 2 yrs but I did it i can walk dance run and drive and yes it will bring on depression also i will keep him in my prayers 🙏
They released their best music, while he was in the band.. hell always be apart of boyz to men in my book.
Sorry to hear this. Its painful as MS progresses. Wish him the very best ahead.
I'm gonna need him to put some RESPECK on Wanya's name!
Like right now!
Factzzzzzz✊🏾
Yasssssss!!!!
“Wayne-ya” hurt my soul 😂
Ok!! ...I was like who is Waymond??
I hope God bless him, I was in my 20s when the group came out it was the most beautiful melodic music from a group I have ever heard.
Truth : IT'S NOT THE SAME WITHOUT HIM 😕😕
It isn’t!
That’s what I always said I got big heat for it but I stand by it tho
It really isnt, but the 3 remaining members can still bring down the house.
Sending him tons of healing energy and lots of love!!!!!!!
Could've at least picked more clips with him in them
🥰
He was a traitor. It's fine.
He should have told them and they could've been more supportive and they would've let him.quit . They gave a interview saying they want him to return 3 years ago
@Evelyn Brown His own words was everyone including his own wife was in the Dark , but he still got paid and they never replaced him so I have to go with his verison
The group did extend an olive branch to come back because he was looking to come back with them but from what I read they were not willing to give him equal share of the tour money. Basically he was going to be a paid employee instead of a full share member. I get it from their end, splitting tour money 3 ways is better than splinting it 4 ways.
True,I guess he didn't want to let them down nd was ashame idk but he knows why
When he was on Iyanla’s Fix My Life, he said he did tell them and they basically bailed on him.
@@aryaphoenix954 then he seems confused in other interviews he said he never told anyone, they wanted him to come back and he was still paid as a member and they never replaced him
At the age of 67 oh, I to have MS and have been diagnosed for almost 30 years. It was hard for a long time to get used to this change in my life as I was a nurse. I love my job but could no longer do it for fear that I would hurt myself or worst yet, hurt someone else meaning those that I give care to. I found that I was in need of care then. Thank God that I have a very supportive family in my children. I'm up walking around doing all the things that I did before but just at a slower pace. I did not let this stop me from doing anything that I want to do and I will not until the day that I go to my maker. People don't realize that I have MS and I don't spread it unless they asked me specifically why I sometimes use a cane to walk with. It's nothing to be ashamed of. May God bless this young man and keep him and his loving arms. I decided to do the same thing that I wanted to do for some time which was and is teaching. I'm not a teacher at a school but I am a teacher to my children grandchildren and my great-grandchildren and anyone else who will listen. Just tried to shut me up and see what happens. LOL. I still love my life as it is.
This is one of those situations where I feel no one is at fault. I truly feel sorry for Mike because dealing with a debilitating illness is bad enough on a physical level, but takes a major toll on the emotional side as well. MS took away something that he loved to do. At the same time, I understand that Boyz II Men is a business & they have to do what’s best for the group. They have CLASSIC songs under their belt, & pre-COVID, they would’ve been able to tour & get singing engagements for as long as they could stand it. Along with that comes contracts. If a promoter is paying for all 4 members to show up & there’s only 3 they could get sued since MS is a chronic, unpredictable & degenerative disease.There’s no “he just needs a couple weeks & he’ll be ok” remedy. Touring & performing takes a lot out of a “healthy” person, so I get why (from a business standpoint) the group would cut their losses. Now I hope they all can get back to speaking terms at least. To me, that’s the most important thing.
@riikerman I really don’t have a favorite because I feel they all add their own contribution to the Boyz II Men sound. Like lemonade, you take any of the components out; water, lemon juice, or sugar, you will definitely taste a difference. That’s how I view BIIM as a collective.
I saw a video that Wanya said that the group cud have gotten signed without Mike. Now that really pissed me off cuz the 3 of them are still great but that bass makes the group AWESOME. I suffer from neck and back problems and people don't really understand that it's truly a terrible thing to deal with. U hurt everyday all day long and it's like u don't get no relief. Praying for u Mike🙏
I'm so sorry to hear that about him.
3:59 in case you don't want the extended Wikipedia history lesson
👏👏👏👏
Depression is a symptom of MS.
Unfortunately 😔
I know first hand 😕 I have MS
Boys 2 Men were one of the most powerful group of their time and it's sad that Michael was stricken with MS bcuz that is such a debilitating disease and so I hope everything works out well for him as well as all the entire members too
I was/is a HUGE Boyz II Men fan. I worked (Andy Frain usher) their concert when they came to Chicago back in day at the Rosemont Horizon. It was them, Jodeci and Hammer. DOPE-DOPE ACE' CONCERT!. In fact, the next morning I woke up to the news that their manager had been shot and killed. I was a teen so immediately I thought it was Michael Bivins, but it was in fact Roderick ''Khalil'' Rountree so sad..... When I found out Bass had left I was heartbroken as well.
My wife I were in Vegas on vacation a couple of years ago. Looking for things to actually do, we saw that Boyz II Men were doing a show a place on the strip (I think it was The Mirage). I hurried up and purchased those tickets! MAN-MAN-MAN!... THEY THREW DOWNNNN!!!!!!.... I could notice Bass missing but their voices just blended soooo perfectly which Nathan handling both his range and occasionally going down to handle bass. Dude, it was freakin beautiful. It took me back to 1992 kid.... Straight up.
I DO wish that Mike had shared that information with the group. I'm sure they would have accommodated him. But him missing in action, that does not fly. Heck there were times in the videos where he was sitting down, but he was STILL present!. That is a shame. I hope he is well though.
-Peace.
God Bless these Brothers for the SOUNDS that they made that are so timeless!
Wishing him well...I hope his story sheds light on whatever is in the darkness for him or others.
Wow I never knew. I’m a working musician who deals with MS as well. And I have all of the symptoms he has. I too was in a dark space. I just got married again. My 2nd marriage. I never thought in a million years I would find love again. It took years for me to get back to work again when my wife came into my life is when the work got better.
I was diagnosed in 2008, when were you diagnosed?
Dietary changes is what you need to begin healing. Check out #MinisterOfWellness
Ok I was diagnosed with ms in 2003 I was only 23yrs old but it's effecting my back also but my God I try to do with pain everyday!!
@@quanicaellis2846 sorry hear that. One day at a time. 🧡 I think I may start doing videos about my experience with MS, to educate people and give support to us Survivors. The one challenge that I have with family and friends is that they don't really understand that I may be struggling because they can't "see" what I'm going through. I recently had an exasperation and as a result I have some neuropathy pain in my left foot, and I'm walking with a slight limp. When I tell people what's going on, they still dont seem to want to, or understand how it's related to MS.
@@quanicaellis2846 juice lemons with the white part attached and ginger pour it into water and drink everyday all day for pain works wonders and for other health benefits i mix it in a gallon of distilled water i make it as yellow and strong as i can stand it at times i dilute it in the cup depending on how my body feel like i would drink a strong cup then dilute the next cup if body hurting ill drink it strong hope this helps
This was covered on tv somewhere years ago because I remember him explaining that's why he used a cane. He must have needed a check really bad. And this background music is everything 💃
When I found out how they treated Michael, it took something out of me as a huge fan. I saw the group perform at Bahamar in The Bahamas about two years ago but I could not fully enjoy the show like I would like to have. Please meet up with your brother, guys and make peace. God bless.
TF DOES THIS TITLE MEAN? It’s giving me PTSD
Bahaaaaaaaa
😂😂😂😂😂
😭😭😭😭😭😭 bring it in bro
I am screaminggggg lolololol so dramatic
🤣🤣🤣
Hiding from everyone and expecting them to understand is just plain stupidity.
Oh my! Sorry to hear what he & the band went through! I lost a friend to MS! He was a very intelligent guy! Finished college as an Industrial Engineer!!! Few years later diagnosed with the condition! Died a few years ago! 🙏🏽😩
You see how important communication is in any relationship. Nothing works if minds can’t meet.
Although I feel sorry for him. He should have been a man and told his brothers. It's hard to ask for a band-aid when no one knows that you are bleeding
Well if you have invisible blood tht is...
@Jimmy Lee , l totally agree. If you don’t talk ,no one knows and you’re working with these guys ???
Amen
I hate to say it but my favorite group was never the same after Mike left
Facts
You’re so right
I felt that way too. I saw them a couple of years ago and they weren't bad.
Exactly....😐
He was My Favorite, He Always Seem to be HUMBLE, "GOD BLESSINGS AND LOVE AND PEACE, STAY STRONG BROTHER, "GOD KNOWS UR HEART AND SOUL ❤✌
the way the narrator said “i pray” at 6:31…👧 LOL
He said we don't even talk anymore ANd...we don't even know what we argue about😥
That explains the cane that he used to have when they performed.
It sure does.i used to think he used it as a prop
Me too. Clever way of masking its use.
I'm sure his balance was off 😔
@@vickiewarren2119 - Yes.
Right. I was thinking the same exact thing.
That’s why it’s always better to be transparent with ur loved ones. The group doesn’t know u have MS, they just know ur skipping rehearsals and shows. They don’t know about ur Illness then the fighting and worry leads to depression...
He didn’t even tell his woman??
I’m so sorry for him I pray boys ll me hear this and reach becuz that is so sad to hear jah bless him
Feel better Mike ... don’t be bitter make peace with the band ... Boyz II Men are the most humble guys
On the B2M documentary they said the back pains will get so bad that he couldnt tour with the band. So I dont know why first the narrator first play it out and then say that the back pain was from MS so It WAS the reason. Michael had a cane on their performance.
My favorite band of all time! We all love and support you Michael! Praying for a healing in your life! In the name of Jesus!
How sad .to go thru that so young. Precious angel. Ill always love your songs and you. Ill be praying for you and hope someday we'll meet in heaven.
God bless you. You gave more to the world than most ppl will ever do. If I was your mom, I'd tell you how proud I am of you. I'm sure your mama adores you.
If fact mama is my favorite song, anyone's ever song about a mom.
Keep ya head up boys 2 men was the truth i remember mike had a resturant we went too n he lived in cherry hill he was a cool dude but boy2men are legends
😍😍😍🥰
i thought somebody was missing !! the bass of the group , micheal was the smoothest in boyz 2 men anyway shouts out to mike
Stop judging people...some people find it hard to share this diagnosis as it really has a huge impact on your body and your life. For many, there is some shame involved too...when your body stops working the way it once did. Try to put yourselves in others shoes
Ok, It's hard to share, but what are the ppl in his life supposed to do without the information that they would need to try and help or understand him? He still had a responsibility to the men that he called "brothers", and the woman that he called wife.
@@tynee123 yep lack of communication made all those issues worse. Just gotta do it
Perhaps you should tell them this!
Stay strong! I was diagnosed in 2009.
Keep it up. God bless you.

Probably hired someone to type out the title, and the fella charge by character count? haha.
Loool 🤣🤣
So he keeps important secrets from his group and his wife....but it’s everyone else’s fault that things didn’t go right 🧐
Exactly!!!!!
It is his fault....He should have told them.
THAT part!
IF YOU SAY IYANLA SHOW MIKE CONFESSED THAT HE HE WAS DISHONEST TO HIMSELF AND TO THE PEOPLE THAT LOVED HIM.
I agree with you saying they are not mind. Reader
GOD BLESS HIM... may he continúe to come away from the world and god heal him
#MS is very cruel 2.3 million of us have worldwide .
It's important to know how to pronounce the artist's names you are doing a story on....it's pronounced won'yay not wayna sheeesh
Thank you!
Nah its actually pronounced Wahn-yay...
@AJ Johnson REAL TALK! There used to be a time when folks would research, proofread and polish things BEFORE they published their presentations. That time has sadly passed, mostly. . .
More forms of appropriation. How dare this pale face tell the story of four brothers? And you dont know how to say they names?!
My love go"s out to him and his beautiful .family. .so amazing
Praying for him hope he can get things resolve between him and his former singers
Praying healing and recovery in Jesus name for my brother.👊🏿✊👊🏿
The group is so much better with him
It ain’t the same without him there.
My favorite group of all time! I'm their #1 fan and I've proved it🥰💋
I understand you felt alone but by not sharing the pain, you made it worst. A strong support system is so important in times of physical distress. I pray you have support and you are not facing this alone. Thank you for the years you have us that voice.
"This Former Boyz II Men Member Has Revealed His He". What is "his he"?
dwoollery lol
I came to the comments 😂 to find out.
@@camalem1724 Same! 😂😂😂
Cam Alem 😂😂😂😂 me too
I knew that the "his he" made no sense. I assumed it should have been typed mean that "he has MS."
First off that background music is trash. Second. All Mike had to do was reveal what was going on. If they are your brothers why not open up? I miss having him in the group but some of it is his own fault. And they can always do studio music and include him. It's not the same euphoria, but to not have him at all..... definitely changed how they sound now.
MS is not easy to live with. I was diagnosed in 2012.
They may not be easy to talk to. How would it be easy to admit out loud that you have a disease that will take your career and shorten your life expectancy. They knew what symptoms he had and they worked without him anyways. Not much would have changed by giving it a label.
I agree, this music is trash 😂 But he and the other members say they were like brothers but for him not to show up at performances and not answer the door when Nathan went to his house, there has to be more to the story. The sound isn't the same without him, I wonder why they didn't replace him?
@@evelynwashere13 the majority of the time I just want to be left alone and when I try to hold a conversation with someone it's not easy. When your immune system is fighting your central nervous system everything is off kilter.
@@TH-cx9vg Do you let the people around you know so they don't worry?
MS is a complicated and unpredictable.
I hope Mike has found someone who he feels he can trust ....it is a tough journey to be alone.
Sorry Mike that you lost his marriage and left the band...
Your voice is glorious
May God bless his body and relationships with his brother's and his wife 🙏
The reason he should have been upfront with them. Maybe the others would have stood by him. They probably felt betrayed as well. Communication. Especially when your livelihoods and health are at stake. Although still amazing, Boyz ll Men was just never the same. I hope Mike is doing well these days.
men don't like to show vulnerability, we expect people just know something ain't right.
Damn this music is a nightmare during the day
😂
He was and still is my favorite member he literally put that flavor in the songs like frfr
I saw a documentary where he himself said when the group's sales was starting to wain, the other members questioned his role in the band. Saying something to the effect "you're not singing, only talking". He took that as an insult and left the group.
You never can tell you might have a the key
MS is an unknown terror that only the patient deals with because they don't want to be looked at as fragile and weak. I was diagnosed in 2012 and I try with all my power to do things myself and when I need help or feel like being bothered, I accept the help. It's not an easy disease to live with but it is possible 😊
Th=3 with you never give up
This mission is possible
He should have confessed and allow them to assist him. He could have used a wheelchair.
@Janet Burrus that's not pride, it's shame. Ever worked with patients before? He was ashamed, angry, and afraid. MS is a slow deterioration until death. You lose control of every muscle in your body at different times. The pain can also be unbearable. He needed counseling and therapy.
It's not pride it's a more complicated set of feelings like shame. Health can be taboo. He didn't even told his wife.
I’ve never heard Mike’s side of the story; thank you for this. However the loud background music on here is very distracting. I can hardly hear the narrator.
that damn background music man. please get rid of it
"EXACTLY!"😤
This nigga used top 10 countdown music to make this video
