Village Native Frankie Muniz Suffers Mini Stroke

Former TV star still set to take the stage at Mexicali Live in Teaneck Sunday.

Former “Malcolm in the Middle” star turned musician Frankie Muniz suffered a “mini stroke” but will still perform at Mexicali Live in Teaneck on Sunday, according to published reports and a Twitter message from the entertainer.

“I was in the hospital last Friday. I suffered a "Mini Stroke", which was not fun at all. Have to start taking care of my body! Getting old!,” said a post on the 27-year-old’s Twitter account Tuesday.

“I was really dizzy and in a lot of pain in my whole body and my head. My hands were numb. I didn't really have good balance and I was almost dropping the bike. I never had this before. I was like 'What's going on?,” Muniz told PEOPLE magazine.
