Take On Me Singer Morten Harket Said He Has Parkinson's Disease
Morten Harket, who for more than 40 years has been the frontman of the Grammy-nominated Norwegian pop trio a-ha, confirmed this week that he has Parkinson's disease. Harket, 65, made the announcement Wednesday by sharing an article written by music journalist and author Jan Omdahl on a-ha's official website. In it, the singer-songwriter said he'd been experiencing vocal issues as a result of his condition, and admitted he was unsure about a return to the concert stage. 'The problems with my voice are one of many grounds for uncertainty about my creative future,' he said. Though Harket said he had 'no problem accepting the diagnosis,' he added, '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.' A native of Kongsberg, Norway, Harket formed a-ha with keyboardist Magne Furuholmen and guitarist Paul Waaktaar-Savoy in 1982. Three years later, the band catapulted to international fame with their breakout smash, ' Take On Me.' The song's success was buoyed by its now-iconic music video, which combined live-action performance footage with pencil-sketch animation. Though a-ha never replicated the success of 'Take On Me' on a global scale, the band continued to release music throughout the '80s and '90s. In 1991, they broke the world record for paid attendance at a rock concert when they performed before more than 198,000 fans at Brazil's Rock in Rio festival. Their 11th studio album, True North, was unveiled in 2022. There is no cure for Parkinson's, a neurodegenerative disease that can cause muscle stiffness, impaired speech and uncontrolled movement. The disease can be revealed by a mere tremor of the hand, according to the Mayo Clinic. Furuholmen reacted to Harket's announcement with a heartfelt post on Instagram. Acknowledging he'd known about his bandmate's diagnosis 'for some time,' he said the news 'brings sadness,' but stressed 'there is also a lot of gratitude: for all the amazing memories, for how our combined creative efforts as a band have been so generously embraced by the world, and for how lucky we are that people continue to find meaning, hope and joy in our shared musical legacy.' In his chat with Omdahl, Harket said he didn't expect to regain 'full technical control' over his vocals, but had nonetheless been working on new songs 'that I've got great belief in, and I feel the lyrics, especially, have something of a different aspect of me in them.' United Archives / United Archives via Getty Images 'I'm not sure if I'll be able to finish them for release,' he continued. '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.'

Van Hunt Proposes to Halle Berry After 5 Years of Dating: Her Surprising Response
Van Hunt said he's already proposed to his girlfriend Halle Berry The couple, who have been dating for five years, are not engaged because Berry doesn't feel the need to get married to validate their love, she told However, Berry said that they will tie the knot some day "soon"The ring's in Halle Berry's court! The 58-year-old Oscar winner's boyfriend of five years, Van Hunt, revealed to that he has already popped the question. "I put out the proposal, and it's still on hold as you can see," he told the website after having his first joint interview with Berry on the June 4 episode of Today with Jenna & Friends. "It's just out there floating. You know, maybe you can encourage her." As for why Berry hasn't said yes yet, she noted both of their past marriages have influenced her. 'Well, I've been married three times. Van has been married once, and so no, we don't feel like we have to get married to validate our love in any way. We don't,' Berry said. Berry was previously married to Olivier Martinez before the two split in 2015. Prior to her relationship with Martinez, 57, she was married to former MLB player David Justice and singer/actor Eric Benét. However, despite her current hesitation, Berry does plan to one day tie the knot with Hunt. "I think we will get married just because, out of the people I've been married to, this is the person I should have married," Berry noted. 'And I feel like I should, we should get married, but it's not because we feel like we have to. I think it's something that we would like to do just because we want that expression." As for when that would be, she simply replied "soon." Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. Berry and Hunt went official with their relationship in September 2020. At the time, a source told PEOPLE they had been seeing each other for "several months" and that he had met Berry's two children: daughter Nahla, 17, and son Maceo, 11. In a Sept. 10, cover story interview with Marie Claire, the Oscar winner opened up about Hunt, telling the publication: 'It was the first time I was madly in love before I had sex,' she revealed. 'That has never happened to me, ever,' she added. 'Talk about one of those life-changing, beautiful experiences. It was magical, just magical.' The actress-filmmaker first met the Grammy winner through his brother. "Van's brother, who I had known for many years, came to me and said, 'You should meet my brother.' 'she said. Of navigating their relationship, Berry said that it 'took me a minute to get it right,' but 'the nature of the way this happened, I have a real belief that this is it. This is my person.' Berry told Women's Health in November 2021 that she feels "fulfilled" in her life with Hunt. "I wish I had met him sooner so I could have loved him longer. I just feel fulfilled. I feel happy in my life romantically, as a mother, as an artist," the Oscar winner said at the time. Berry added, "I'm a much better mother in this circumstance than I would have been had I stayed in a romantic relationship that didn't serve me and didn't make me feel the way I need to feel as a woman." RELATED VIDEO: Halle Berry Jokes It's ' "Fault" She Didn't Meet Boyfriend Van Hunt Years Ago Over the years, the two have shared various social-media tributes to each other, whether it's celebrating birthdays, holidays and everything in between. "On Wednesdays, we drink pink 🥂 happy anniversary VanO," Berry captioned a photo of two glasses of champagne outdoors in April 2022. Sharing the picture again to her Instagram Story, the Moonfall star wrote, "Happy anniversary @vanhunt," adding a red heart and cheers emoji. Like Berry, Hunt also has a career in the entertainment industry. He is a Grammy Award-winning recording artist who has released five albums, beginning with his self-titled debut album in 2004. "Halle has found a soulmate in Van," a film source previously told PEOPLE about the couple. "She feels greatly loved by him. She is very happy and secure in the relationship."
