Shocking news for the fans of the Norwegian band a-ha, because their lead singer, whose music many people are
very familiar with, has just revealed he has Parkinson’s disease.
Morten Harket is the lead singer for A-ha, known for hits such as "Take on Me" and "The Sun Always Shines on T.V." included in the band's debut studio album "Hunting High And Low" which is just celebrating 40 years of its original release.
The singer/songwriter, father of five and grandfather said in a press release on the band's website, when asked if he will sing again, he was not sure. "I
don’t really know. I don’t feel like singing, and for me that’s a
sign," Harket said. "I'm broadminded in terms of what I think works; I
don't expect to be able to achieve full technical control. The question
is whether I can express myself with my voice. As things stand
now, that's out of the question. But I don't know whether I'll be able
to manage it at some point in the future.
Harket adds that there were only a handful of people who knew his
diagnosis, until now. He says he wasn't sure he wanted to go public
because of the unpredictable consequences of that. Part of me wanted to reveal it. Like I said, acknowledging the diagnosis
wasn't a problem for me; it's my need for peace and quiet to work that
has been stopping me. I'm trying the best I can to prevent my entire
system from going into decline. It's a difficult balancing act between
taking the medication and managing its side effects. There's so much to
weigh up when you’re emulating the masterful way the body handles every
complex movement, or social matters and invitations, or day-to-day life
in general."
