AceShowbiz - Singer-songwriter Two Feet is alive and "under watch" in hospital after posting a suicide note on Twitter.
The New York-based artist and producer, real name Zachary William 'Bill' Dess, took to his social media account with a heartbreaking post entitled "Goodbye" on Tuesday, July 31, where he confessed his love for his fans and promised to share his unfinished music.
"Most of my fans live here on twitter and Spotify. I want to tell all 12k of you that I love you so much. I hope I've helped you in some manner," he wrote. "I know it may be odd posting a suicide note on twitter. But thats the world we live in. I've been completely honest with you forever. Anyway I love you (sic)."
It prompted a wave of love and support from friends, fans and fellow artists, including DJ duo Louis the Child and American singer Rozes, who begged him not to go through with it.
His family has since released a statement to editors at Billboard explaining that the 25-year-old is recovering in hospital.
"He is alive and receiving medical treatment," they stated. "The family appreciates all the love and concern and request privacy at this time."
Please take this as a sign not to â¤ï¸â¤ï¸â¤ï¸ We love you and so do so many people. Please keep fighting, Zach. Please.

Two Feet's father also confirmed the news on the singer's Twitter account, where the original goodbye tweet has since been removed.
"This is Bill's father, Guy. I'm at the hospital. Bill is breathing. He is under watch. Thank you for your blessings," he wrote, later adding: "Bill is recuperating and being held for observation. He will survive. Thanks to everyone for their heartfelt concern. This is a very difficult time for us. We appreciate the outpouring of love."

Two Feet, who got his big break in 2016 when his track Go F**k Yourself went viral overnight, released his most recent single, Hurt People, two weeks ago, which appeared to document his struggles with mental health.
"Wish I could fix my mind but it's too hazy," he sings on the track, while making references to self-harm, medication and drug abuse.
