"Thank u for the nice thoughts it's been a week. or two. I was in an accident," the 53-year-old wrote. "But getting better getting cleared and gonna be back at work Tuesday they tell me (sic)."

Norman also apologised for missing an event he was scheduled to attend in Atlanta recently.

The new show is scheduled to drop in 2023.
