A-ha Singer Morten Harket Discloses Parkinson's Diagnosis, May Stop Performing
Morten Harket, the lead singer of the Norwegian synth-pop band A-ha, has publicly revealed his diagnosis with Parkinson's disease, sharing that the condition has significantly affected his ability to sing. Despite undergoing deep brain stimulation therapy and other treatments at the Mayo Clinic, which have helped alleviate some physical symptoms, Harket expressed uncertainty about regaining full vocal control. He has been managing the disease quietly, emphasizing his acceptance of the diagnosis and his reliance on medical professionals' guidance. Harket's condition has led him to step back from performing, though he has been working on new music amid the challenges. His announcement comes amid reflections on his iconic career, including the enduring popularity of A-ha's hit "Take On Me." Fans and observers have responded with support as Harket navigates the complex emotional and physical aspects of living with Parkinson's.
