Rich Posted Wednesday at 14:36 Posted Wednesday at 14:36 (edited) Yes, the bloke from A-ha. Announced today that he has Parkinson's. A good article on a-ha dot com here. Edited yesterday at 08:55 by Rich 1 2 Quote

Beedster Posted yesterday at 08:09 Posted yesterday at 08:09 I remember the first time i hear Take On Me I was speechless, I pick up a lot of talk about highly skilled and versatile female singers but his voice, his range, and his creativity are up there with many of the best singers in pop, I always felt he could probably have done some opera had he chosen to. He seems to be concerned that the disease will affect his singing, which is great news in a way in that he's clearly still thinking about singing and the future. Great news and I wish him all the best 🙏❤️ Quote
Hellzero Posted yesterday at 14:43 Posted yesterday at 14:43 I read @Rich linked article yesterday, and at least he is very positive, like the guy to whom I bought a digital piano last week and who was also diagnosed Parkinson a few years ago. I never really liked the poppy music A-Ha were doing back then, but Morten Harket is a very talented singer for sure and what a voice. 2 Quote
Misdee Posted 3 hours ago Posted 3 hours ago Can't believe he's 65. I remember when he had teenage girls screaming at him like it was yesterday. Quote
prowla Posted 3 hours ago Posted 3 hours ago He was on the Masked Singer, called "Viking", singing his own song, and nobody twigged it was him. Quote
bass_dinger Posted 2 hours ago Posted 2 hours ago I recall reading Michael J Fox's autobiography, in which he shared his own battle with Parkinson's (and his open-head, conscious, brain surgery to relieve him of the symptoms). He was unable to act, but could do voiceover work - Stuart Little was him. So, perhaps the voice will be unaffected by the illness? Quote
