Yes, the bloke from A-ha. Announced today that he has Parkinson's.

A good article on a-ha dot com here.

That’s very tough on him, best wishes to him and his family 🙏

That’s bad news.

Despite him just getting his name as the title of a thread on BC, he's not dead yet.

You are right  - when I see just a name as a thread title, I think that the person has passed away.

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 🙏❤️

Heard this on the radio  .

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.
