Billy Porter held back tears on TODAY and said it was "a gift to be alive" as he recalled a bout of sepsis that left him in a coma for three days last fall. Porter opened up on TODAY on March 17 about the ordeal. He said it began with a urinary infection that was "not treated properly," and the infection spread to his kidneys. "It's been really mind-altering — also inspiring," he said. "My work here on this Earth is not done, and that gives me hope."
