He revealed that his cancer was in stage 4 and has spread to his bones. Hence the actor can no longer walk. He is currently undergoing chemotherapy.

'I was 56 years old at the time, and they screen for PSA, which is a prostate-specific antigen,' Tyler elaborated on his diagnosis. 'That came back at an extraordinarily high number... so I knew immediately when I went online and I saw the results of my blood test and blood work that there was obviously something quite wrong there.'

'Late stage cancer,' he told host Craig Melvin. 'Eventually, you know, it's gonna probably get me.'
