Morten Harket hat Parkinsons 😭

You have fans all over the world who are going to take the news hard. Do you have anything to say to them?

“Don’t worry about me. Find out who you want to be – a process that can be new each and every day. Be good servants of nature, the very basis of our existence, and care for the environment while it is still possible to do so. Spend your energy and effort addressing real problems, and know that I am being taken care of.”

Out on the island at the edge of the open sea, there are brief glimpses that the door to new creative outlets hasn’t been shut just yet. Morten shows me newly written lyrics on his iPad and plays some relatively recent demos that show that his voice can still perform.

“For a few years now I’ve been working on songs that I’ve got great belief in, and I feel the lyrics, especially, have something of a different aspect of me in them. I’m not sure if I’ll be able to finish them for release. Time will tell if they make it. I really like the idea of just going for it, as a Parkinson’s patient and an artist, with something completely outside the box. It’s all up to me, I just have to get this out of the way first.”

Shake on meeeee!

This truly bums me out.. I have all his solo albums and he is just a great guy. Love you Morten(L)
