He captioned a photo of the cast: "I have known Frank for as long as I can remember, he’s been like a brother to me.

Mike concluded: “I will miss Frank, just like all of you, and I pray for the very best and all good things for him on the next part of his journey.”

Frank told the Sun about his side of the feud with Mike.
He said: “I haven’t talked to Mike in two years. He knew my back was messed up, but he didn’t call me up and ask how I was doing. That’s just how it is.

Frank added: "That’s fine. It’s like you’ve got Aerosmith and there’s Steven Tyler and he’s the front man. I found my spot, I’m second and he’s number one on the show.
"That’s no problem with me, maybe he does have a problem.”
Despite their falling out, Frank was eager to return to the show.
