Morten Harket, the lead singer of Norwegian synth-pop group A-ha, has announced that he has been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease.
Harket, 65, said he had been experiencing vocal issues due to the condition, which progressively damages the brain. He said: “The problems with my voice are one of many grounds for uncertainty about my creative future.” He said that he was currently unable to express himself with his voice: “I don’t feel like singing, and for me that’s a sign.”
