"Typing this message doesn't quite seem real & I'm sorry for the bad news. I don't know what lies ahead, I'm tired but I know I am strong & I won't let this beat me."
The DJ subsequently cancelled all live shows he had planned for the summer, but returned in September at the Solid Grooves closing party at Ibiza's DC-10 club.
Now, posting to Instagram from his hospital bed, the 32-year-old revealed that he's returned to hospital for bone marrow and stem cell transplants.
Alongside a picture of him lying in bed smiling, the musician wrote: "The final battle. After many months of fighting, today I start the last phase of my treatment by having a bone marrow/stem cell transplant.
"If all goes well this will be the final yet toughest part of my journey. It will hit me hard & could take months of recovery but the end goal is being 100% cancer free…"
Michael continued: "I pray everyday that all goes smoothly & I will be out of hospital with you all again soon.
"Wish me luck & see you on the other side."
The post's comment section was inundated with support and love from people in the music industry and fans.
DJ Serge Devant wrote: "It will be all fine at the end. All the struggle will be worth it once you heal for good. Stay positive brother, you have so much love and positive energy around you to help you through this. You got this."
Music group, ANOTR, added: "We'll be praying for your recovery brother."
And, SUNWAVES Festival commented: "We believe in the success of your treatment. Keeping you in our prayers, the whole world is behind you!
"You are an inspiration not only to everyone in the industry, but each person on the dance floor too. You have the biggest support system on the planet, take your time to be at your 100% cause we're right here patiently waiting for your full recovery.
"Nothing but love, Michael!"
