Last week, Joshua revealed he'd undergone surgery after suffering "the worst pain of [his] life".

The young star was rushed to hospital after an "uncomfortable feeling" became 10 times worse, and he went under the knife just hours before his new single 'Lie Lie Lie' dropped.

Joshua shared a video of himself lying on a hospital bed, and added the caption: "welp... not the first place i assumed i’d be on my Lie Lie Lie release day... the ER!! (before you ask, no it’s not covid.) after an unknown, uncomfortable feeling turned into, times 10, the worst pain of my life, i figured i’d just try to sleep. after multiple, very very ugly days and nights, i had no choice today but be taken to the hospital. i’d like to say thank you!!!! for all the support on the song!!! i’ve been doing what i can today to stay involved. had my first surgery tonight ! gonna rest at the hospital and the doctors will see what they see in the morn!

"much love to all!
