Hoy adds: "He is currently in good spirits, is not yet suffering any physical effects and can expect to enjoy at least another few months of reasonable health and activity."
Despite his illness, Johnson -- who plays?Ser?Ilyn Payne on the HBO drama -- still has big plans ahead of him.
"He has just set off on a trip to Japan; on his return we plan to complete a new CD, make a short tour of France, then give a series of farewell gigs in the U.K. There is also a live DVD in the pipeline, filmed on the last UK tour," Hoy wrote on Facebook.
