"I'd like to ask for prayers for my manager Kieran Cavanagh," he began.
"He has been diagnosed with brain cancer and will start treatment soon.
Daniel added: "Please pray for him and his family at this very difficult time."
One fan commented: "Ah God I'm sorry to hear this, Kieran is an absolute Gentleman, you will be in my thoughts and prayers,"
"Sending prayers for him and his family," added a second.
Another wrote: "Sending caring, positive and healing thoughts to your friend and family.Hoping all will be well after treatment".
While fellow country music singer Louise Morrissey added: "Sending prayers for a full recovery".
Daniel has previously spoken about his friendship with Kieran, who took over from his former manager Sean Reilly.
"We have a great relationship. He sees me as a person first and a performer second," he said.
Meanwhile, the Donegal native recently explained why he was missing from this year's Late Late Show Country Music special.
It was the first country special with host Patrick Kielty at the helm as the presenter was joined by famous faces such as Sandy Kelly, Philomena Begley, Declan Nerney and Nathan Carter.
However, many viewers noticed Daniel wasn't on the bill and took to social media to ask where he was.
As it turns out, filming clashed with tour dates.
"I wasn't here, I was away, I only got back, I was in America," he told RSVP Live.
"But it was a very good show. I was back in time to watch it."
