As reported, Sinbad, 68, suffered a stroke in October 2020. In 2024, he shared a post thanking fans for standing by him as he recovered:

“Thank you for your prayers, support, and positive thoughts. They’ve carried me this far and will see me through to the finish line. It really is a different world out here!”

Straw is set to air on June 6 on Netflix.
