By Hannah Roberts, Evening Standard | A-ha’s lead singer Morten Harket has announced his diagnosis with Parkinson’s disease. The frontman of the Norwegian synth-pop group, known for hits including Take On Me and You Are The One, said he is having issues with his voice due to the condition, which causes parts of the brain to become progressively damaged over many years.
His bandmate Magne Furuholmen has said all future A-ha-related activities “will of course be tuned to suit Morten’s situation”.
Speaking to a biographer for an article on the A-ha website, Harket, 65, said: “I’ve got no problem accepting the diagnosis. With time I’ve taken to heart my 94-year-old father’s attitude to the way the organism gradually surrenders: ‘I use whatever works’.”
He continued: “Acknowledging the diagnosis wasn’t a problem for me; it’s my need for peace and quiet to work that has been stopping me.
