Danny Go! star Daniel Coleman is sharing that his son has entered hospice care.

On Thursday, April 23, the popular children’s entertainer and dad of two gave an update on his son Isaac, 14, who was diagnosed with stage 3 mouth cancer back in December. Coleman shared in an Instagram post that Isaac’s cancer has spread “aggressively” and they’ve shifted into a “comfort-focused approach.”

“Haven’t updated on Isaac’s cancer in a bit and it’s still difficult for me to process and talk about,” Coleman wrote of his son Isaac, who was born with Fanconi anemia, in his caption. “But the high-level update is that his cancer has continued to spread aggressively and his energy levels have dropped very low.”

Coleman said that his son was undergoing a “short palliative radiation round” to slow down the large mass under his right eye, but noted that they’ve shifted into a “comfort-focused approach” overall.

“He has a hospice team onboard now to help manage the pain & we are just doing our best to make each day as enjoyable and restful as possible for him,” continued Coleman. “Mindy and I are heartbroken watching him decline, knowing how frustrating and scary this must be for him. But we’re trying to hold it all together & keep soaking up the time we still have with our boy.”

Faconi anemia is a rare, inherited condition that affects bone marrow and other parts of the body, according to the Cleveland Clinic. People with FA have an increased risk of developing blood disorders and some kinds of cancer. It can also cause physical abnormalities that can affect people’s organs and appearance.

Coleman first announced that his son Isaac had been diagnosed with cancer in a post on his Instagram page in December. “We found out last week that Isaac has cancer in his mouth. TBH, we always knew this day was coming, as it’s a near certainty w/ Fanconi anemia,” he wrote in his lengthy caption.

“But it’s definitely hitting a little earlier than we hoped and is still just such a shocking thing to hear about your child, even if you’ve braced for it for years. Been getting lots of scans and we’re not sure yet how much it’s spread,” he continued. “But for now, the plan is to try and remove the cancer surgically asap.”

In February, Coleman announced that he was canceling the upcoming 2026 Danny Go! tour to care for his son.

“As some of you may know, my oldest son Isaac was diagnosed with stage 3 cancer this past month. As a result, we’ve made the decision to cancel our tour plans for 2026,” a statement shared on the Danny Go! Facebook page read. “Dancing with so many of you in person over the last 18 months has been a true joy & we hope to get another tour rolling when the time is right.”

“In the meantime, we’re going to keep making videos, writing books, developing toys and sharing other exciting things as much as we can this year. We love what we do & it’s an honor to be a part of you and your kids’ lives! Thank you so much for watching our show.”
