The post comes barely a month after the actor underwent a gastrointestinal perforation surgery at a medical facility here.
In terms of medicine, a gastrointestinal perforation means that a hole appeared somewhere in his gastrointestinal system, possibly from some other unrelated health issue or trauma, and the whole thing can lead to various life-threatening infections if left untreated.Â
People magazine reported Saturday that Perry was heading home after his recent hospitalisation.
The actor has been open about his health struggles in the past, including his years-long battle with alcohol and Vicodin.
