This Former Boyz II Men Member Has Revealed His Heartbreaking Reason For Quitting The ’90s Band 

They need to meet and all heal !!!!!! This was a brotherhood we fell in love with !!!!!!

My heart aches for Michael🥺He just was not ready to tell everyone his diagnosis.I love the group they are one of the best singing groups ever!! I pray that Michael & the group can talk it out!! Love you all♥️

He was my favorite member. I love and miss hearing his voice. It’s sad what he has to suffer through. 🙏🏾

I saw BoyzIIMen (3 members) in Philadelphia just before the pandemic they were outstanding! It's unfortunate what happened to the 4th member (Michael) but he has to take responsibility for not communicating. The Group did the right thing by going on without him! Prayers for healing!!

Turn that damn cheesy background music off... it's really annoying!

Stupid background music is unbearable and distracting!!!

I too have MS so I definitely can relate to how he feels but I'm glad he is doing ok. God bless him!🙏🥰

I actually thought he would be speaking in this video. I wasn't expecting someone else to tell me what he said. Smh....oh well🤷‍♂️

That background music is the reason he left the group......

Praying for Michael....MS is very serious. A cure has not been found, most patients go into a deep depression due to pain and limited mobility.

FYI the back ground music was distracting and reporting something that serious we did not need al that noise in the background. I pray for his health and that he finds peace

You cant just have some random ass music playing in a documentary about a legendary group like this ESPECIALLY AFTER you played some of their music.

I will always love boyz to men FOREVERMORE all four members

Never forget seeing them in concert and they still sounded good!!

Sometimes if you don't tell your closest folks what you're going through then you leave them frustrated with you. If you know what the problem is then tell somebody. Everybody needs some encouragement but even doctors can't help you if you don't tell them the truth.

It's so sad that he felt the need to carry the burden of having that illness alone and allowed himself to lose his friends and his wife. I hope he received enough help so that he can let go of his anger at those who had no idea of what he was going through.

Would love to hear him sing again.

Boyz II Men is some of the most talented singers on the planet. The current sound of the 3 members is still amazing but when you add Michael McCary to the mix the sound is Angelic. We need him back in the group for at least one more album and one last tour if his health would allow him to

Since his departure. The group has never been the same.

Still be there for him. MS is not a joke and other illness. . No one can ever understand living with a illness. When your striving grinding to be successful I could imagine how he felt when MS came into his life. I guess he would feel a broken bond because he was crying out and because Boy to Men was transitioning that cane first selfish. You have to.be with a person through all the the good and bad that real friends. Some people dont take the time to understand what a person go through. Michael you have to also give a person a chance to understand to Hoping you in a good supportive church friends families and your kids are in your life.I will be praying for you keep God close to you he will see you through all of this. Lraise yiur way by saying thank you

This video lost all credibility when he called Wanya "Wayman" 🙄

So sad still miss that brother in the group, I wish he at least talks about anything he went through with his former band mates. God bless this brother!

Much love to you my brother, I have a family member that passed away from MS. I feel that you should share your struggles with your family and bandmates true love and support will always come out. I am praying for your strength and healing.

I love Boyz II Men ever since I was a boy growing up. They inspired me to sing & I still hold Michael McCary to the highest regard. It's ashame his health prevented him from continuing to be in the group

Sorry to hear this. Its painful as MS progresses. Wish him the very best ahead.

Boyz II Men are legends !!! Always !

Boyz 2 Men were such a big Force in the 90z .. can't talk about the 90z without talking bout these Kingz

I was shocked when I heard that he has MS. I have it, too. So I can relate so much. He is strong and he needs so much support. He has my support.

We love you Mike! Thank you for the joy you brought to my life back in the day

The problem with Michael is that, he didnt tell his crew that he has major problem, he just made a distance without knowing whats happening, and so his bandmate thought that he never like to perform with them anymore.

One of my favorite groups of all times ❤️🙏🏽

Could've at least picked more clips with him in them

Sorry for his situation... The group can't stay stagnant they did what was right. Stay unified ✊🏽

He should have told them and they could've been more supportive and they would've let him.quit . They gave a interview saying they want him to return 3 years ago

Yes his presence is definitely missed! I pray total healing for his body in Jesus name

That's really too bad. I loved him in the group. His voice was so soothing. I still like Boyz II Men, but it hasn't been the same since he left. Regardless, I wish them all the best. They're definitely one of my all time favorites.

I know what he's going through I've been battling it since 2003 and yes sometimes its painful I experienced the paralyzes from day one told i wouldn't walk again it took me 2 yrs but I did it i can walk dance run and drive and yes it will bring on depression also i will keep him in my prayers 🙏

I'm so sorry to hear that about him.

Mike, we miss you. I too, have MS. So to some extent I know what you are going through. My advice continue to live your life. Choose yourself. Stay strong.My wish is for the four of you to reunite and continue to make great music. God Bless, Alina.

Sending him tons of healing energy and lots of love!!!!!!!

TF DOES THIS TITLE MEAN? It’s giving me PTSD

I'm gonna need him to put some RESPECK on Wanya's name!

They released their best music, while he was in the band.. hell always be apart of boyz to men in my book.

This was covered on tv somewhere years ago because I remember him explaining that's why he used a cane. He must have needed a check really bad. And this background music is everything 💃

Wishing him well...I hope his story sheds light on whatever is in the darkness for him or others.

I hope God bless him, I was in my 20s when the group came out it was the most beautiful melodic music from a group I have ever heard.

This is one of those situations where I feel no one is at fault. I truly feel sorry for Mike because dealing with a debilitating illness is bad enough on a physical level, but takes a major toll on the emotional side as well. MS took away something that he loved to do. At the same time, I understand that Boyz II Men is a business & they have to do what’s best for the group. They have CLASSIC songs under their belt, & pre-COVID, they would’ve been able to tour & get singing engagements for as long as they could stand it. Along with that comes contracts. If a promoter is paying for all 4 members to show up & there’s only 3 they could get sued since MS is a chronic, unpredictable & degenerative disease.There’s no “he just needs a couple weeks & he’ll be ok” remedy. Touring & performing takes a lot out of a “healthy” person, so I get why (from a business standpoint) the group would cut their losses. Now I hope they all can get back to speaking terms at least. To me, that’s the most important thing.

Wow I never knew. I’m a working musician who deals with MS as well. And I have all of the symptoms he has. I too was in a dark space. I just got married again. My 2nd marriage. I never thought in a million years I would find love again. It took years for me to get back to work again when my wife came into my life is when the work got better.

Keep ya head up boys 2 men was the truth i remember mike had a resturant we went too n he lived in cherry hill he was a cool dude but boy2men are legends

Wayment ... how did the narrator pronounce Wanya’s name ... 😩😳😆

Oh my! Sorry to hear what he & the band went through! I lost a friend to MS! He was a very intelligent guy! Finished college as an Industrial Engineer!!! Few years later diagnosed with the condition! Died a few years ago! 🙏🏽😩

God Bless these Brothers for the SOUNDS that they made that are so timeless!

He said we don't even talk anymore ANd...we don't even know what we argue about😥

That explains the cane that he used to have when they performed.

On the B2M documentary they said the back pains will get so bad that he couldnt tour with the band. So I dont know why first the narrator first play it out and then say that the back pain was from MS so It WAS the reason. Michael had a cane on their performance.

Boys 2 Men were one of the most powerful group of their time and it's sad that Michael was stricken with MS bcuz that is such a debilitating disease and so I hope everything works out well for him as well as all the entire members too

Truth : IT'S NOT THE SAME WITHOUT HIM 😕😕

It's important to know how to pronounce the artist's names you are doing a story on....it's pronounced won'yay not wayna sheeesh

"This Former Boyz II Men member has revealed his heartbreaking reason for quitting the 90's band".... I guess that was too much to put in the title?

I hate to say it but my favorite group was never the same after Mike left

Hiding from everyone and expecting them to understand is just plain stupidity.

That’s why it’s always better to be transparent with ur loved ones. The group doesn’t know u have MS, they just know ur skipping rehearsals and shows. They don’t know about ur Illness then the fighting and worry leads to depression... He didn’t even tell his woman??

Although I feel sorry for him. He should have been a man and told his brothers. It's hard to ask for a band-aid when no one knows that you are bleeding

I saw a video that Wanya said that the group cud have gotten signed without Mike. Now that really pissed me off cuz the 3 of them are still great but that bass makes the group AWESOME. I suffer from neck and back problems and people don't really understand that it's truly a terrible thing to deal with. U hurt everyday all day long and it's like u don't get no relief. Praying for u Mike🙏

My favorite group of all time! I'm their #1 fan and I've proved it🥰💋

"This Former Boyz II Men Member Has Revealed His He". What is "his he"?

I was/is a HUGE Boyz II Men fan. I worked (Andy Frain usher) their concert when they came to Chicago back in day at the Rosemont Horizon. It was them, Jodeci and Hammer. DOPE-DOPE ACE' CONCERT!. In fact, the next morning I woke up to the news that their manager had been shot and killed. I was a teen so immediately I thought it was Michael Bivins, but it was in fact Roderick ''Khalil'' Rountree so sad..... When I found out Bass had left I was heartbroken as well. My wife I were in Vegas on vacation a couple of years ago. Looking for things to actually do, we saw that Boyz II Men were doing a show a place on the strip (I think it was The Mirage). I hurried up and purchased those tickets! MAN-MAN-MAN!... THEY THREW DOWNNNN!!!!!!.... I could notice Bass missing but their voices just blended soooo perfectly which Nathan handling both his range and occasionally going down to handle bass. Dude, it was freakin beautiful. It took me back to 1992 kid.... Straight up. I DO wish that Mike had shared that information with the group. I'm sure they would have accommodated him. But him missing in action, that does not fly. Heck there were times in the videos where he was sitting down, but he was STILL present!. That is a shame. I hope he is well though. -Peace.

Depression is a symptom of MS.

Stay strong! I was diagnosed in 2009.

You see how important communication is in any relationship. Nothing works if minds can’t meet.

Praying for him hope he can get things resolve between him and his former singers

So he keeps important secrets from his group and his wife....but it’s everyone else’s fault that things didn’t go right 🧐

GOD BLESS HIM... may he continúe to come away from the world and god heal him

3:59 in case you don't want the extended Wikipedia history lesson

My love go"s out to him and his beautiful .family. .so amazing

How sad .to go thru that so young. Precious angel. Ill always love your songs and you. Ill be praying for you and hope someday we'll meet in heaven. God bless you. You gave more to the world than most ppl will ever do. If I was your mom, I'd tell you how proud I am of you. I'm sure your mama adores you. If fact mama is my favorite song, anyone's ever song about a mom.

i thought somebody was missing !! the bass of the group , micheal was the smoothest in boyz 2 men anyway shouts out to mike

First off that background music is trash. Second. All Mike had to do was reveal what was going on. If they are your brothers why not open up? I miss having him in the group but some of it is his own fault. And they can always do studio music and include him. It's not the same euphoria, but to not have him at all..... definitely changed how they sound now.

At the age of 67 oh, I to have MS and have been diagnosed for almost 30 years. It was hard for a long time to get used to this change in my life as I was a nurse. I love my job but could no longer do it for fear that I would hurt myself or worst yet, hurt someone else meaning those that I give care to. I found that I was in need of care then. Thank God that I have a very supportive family in my children. I'm up walking around doing all the things that I did before but just at a slower pace. I did not let this stop me from doing anything that I want to do and I will not until the day that I go to my maker. People don't realize that I have MS and I don't spread it unless they asked me specifically why I sometimes use a cane to walk with. It's nothing to be ashamed of. May God bless this young man and keep him and his loving arms. I decided to do the same thing that I wanted to do for some time which was and is teaching. I'm not a teacher at a school but I am a teacher to my children grandchildren and my great-grandchildren and anyone else who will listen. Just tried to shut me up and see what happens. LOL. I still love my life as it is.

Feel better Mike ... don’t be bitter make peace with the band ... Boyz II Men are the most humble guys

Stop judging people...some people find it hard to share this diagnosis as it really has a huge impact on your body and your life. For many, there is some shame involved too...when your body stops working the way it once did. Try to put yourselves in others shoes

that damn background music man. please get rid of it

I’m so sorry for him I pray boys ll me hear this and reach becuz that is so sad to hear jah bless him

My favorite band of all time! We all love and support you Michael! Praying for a healing in your life! In the name of Jesus!

The background music sounds like the Nintendo game Tecmo Bowl☺

May God bless his body and relationships with his brother's and his wife 🙏

I was wondering where he was in the Let is Snow 2020 OWN mix

They are so loved he could've toured in a wheelchair as long as all 4 there real fans wouldn't mind

MS is an unknown terror that only the patient deals with because they don't want to be looked at as fragile and weak. I was diagnosed in 2012 and I try with all my power to do things myself and when I need help or feel like being bothered, I accept the help. It's not an easy disease to live with but it is possible 😊

If he never revealed the truth to them, how would they have known, and how could they have abandoned him? Please fact check your information before posting, he left the band, they never abandoned him.... this is how lies get out. They stated that he stopped showing up for work , and he finally spoke about his condition in October 2016. That’s not abandonment if there’s no communication about the problem with your health.

He was and still is my favorite member he literally put that flavor in the songs like frfr

I'm praying for you all and I miss your voice Mike!

Damn this music is a nightmare during the day

Praying healing and recovery in Jesus name for my brother.👊🏿✊👊🏿

I understand you felt alone but by not sharing the pain, you made it worst. A strong support system is so important in times of physical distress. I pray you have support and you are not facing this alone. Thank you for the years you have us that voice.

Things happen for a reason he was good while it lasted moving on to 2021 happy new year everyone still listening 👂

I'm not understanding why he feels betrayed by the rest of the group. What did they do to betray him?

He should have confessed and allow them to assist him. He could have used a wheelchair.

#MS is very cruel 2.3 million of us have worldwide .

I saw a documentary where he himself said when the group's sales was starting to wain, the other members questioned his role in the band. Saying something to the effect "you're not singing, only talking". He took that as an insult and left the group.
