He had previously suffered a stroke in October last year.
The X statement said: "Heartbroken to share that Michael died yesterday in hospital of a heart attack following a stroke in October.
"He was a dearly loved son, brother, nephew and uncle who will be deeply and profoundly missed.
"There will be a memorial service in the coming weeks, the details of which will be shared here."
Michael posted a video in December showing himself in a hospital bed.
He said he'd been bedridden for five weeks at Good Hope Hospital in Birmingham.
In the clip he explained: "I'm dying of thirst in a British NHS hospital, and no one seems prepared to do anything about it.
"I want to say the nursing staff, the junior doctors here, have been the saving grace. They all want to help, but they can't.

"One told me yesterday, If I don't buck up my ideas, I'll never be able to walk again in three weeks. Of course, the junior staff told me that was nonsense, but it's symptomatic of the treatment in this place.
