A-ha Singer Morten Harket Reveals Parkinson's Disease Diagnosis
A-ha's Morten Harket revealed Wednesday that he has been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, which could impact the 'Take on Me' singer's powerful voice and 'creative future.' Harket, who was quietly battling Parkinson's over the past few years, announced the diagnosis on the Norwegian new wave band's official website via a new interview with A-ha biographer Jan Omdahl. More from Rolling Stone A-ha Detail Evolution of 'Take On Me' in Documentary Clip Tribeca to Premiere Films on Anthony Bourdain, A$AP Rocky, Rick James A-ha Release Remastered 4K Version of Classic 'Take on Me' Video '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,'' Harket said. '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.' According to Omdahl, beginning in June 2024, Harket underwent a neurosurgical procedure called deep brain stimulation (DBS), where electrodes are implanted deep inside both sides of the brain. The procedure, 'among the most advanced treatments in neurology,' greatly reduced the physical toll of Parkinson's for Harket, combined with treatment from the NeuroClinic Norway that 'led to a dramatic improvement in his symptoms,' Omdahl wrote. However, Harket's skyscraping vocals — as evidenced on the band's hits 'Take on Me' and 'The Sun Always Shines on TV' — remain impacted by the Parkinson's. 'The problems with my voice are one of many grounds for uncertainty about my creative future,' Harket said, adding, 'The voice problem comes especially when I take dopamine supplements. If I don't take dopamine, my voice settles down – but then the general underlying symptoms become more pronounced.' 'I don't feel like singing, and for me that's a sign. I'm broad-minded in terms of what I think works; I don't expect to be able to achieve full technical control,' Harket continued. '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.' A-ha last performed live in July 2022 on a world tour in support of their then-new album True North. Despite the diagnosis, Harket stressed to fans, '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.'

A-ha Frontman Morten Harket Reveals Parkinson's Diagnosis, Says He's Done ‘Treating It as a Secret'
After battling Parkinson's disease for some time in private, A-ha's Morten Harket is now sharing his diagnosis with the public. By way of a letter written by the band's biographer, Jan Omdahl, the singer broke the news to fans that he has been receiving treatment for the neurological disorder 'in recent years,' undergoing surgeries last June and December to implant symptom-reducing electrodes on both sides of his brain. Harket also said that he'd been having conflicting feelings for quite some time about whether he should go public with his diagnosis. More from Billboard Marc Cohn Reveals Parkinson's Disease Diagnosis: 'This Is Just Another Passage' Jessie J Reveals 'Early Breast Cancer' Diagnosis: 'Cancer Sucks in Any Form' Big Thief Announce New Album, 'Double Infinity' 'Part of me wanted to reveal it,' he told Omdahl. '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.' 'It used to bother me to think about my sickness becoming public knowledge,' Harket added. 'In the long run, it bothers me more to have to protect something that is strictly a private matter by treating it as a secret.' According to the Mayo Clinic, Parkinson's is a 'movement disorder of the nervous system that worsens over time,' often causing tremors and affecting the motor skills of patients. There is no cure for the degenerative disease, but medicines and surgery can help ease symptoms. For Harket, both treatment paths have 'led to a dramatic improvement in his symptoms,' though he still faces regular exhaustion and strain. He also said that his singing abilities have been affected, but it's not of primary concern for him right now. 'I don't feel like singing, and for me that's a sign,' he told Omdahl. 'The question is whether I can express myself with my voice. As things stand now, that's out of the question … I see singing as my responsibility, and at certain moments I think it's absolutely fantastic that I get to do it. But I've got other passions too, I have other things that are just as big a part of me, that are just as necessary and true.' Even so, the Norwegian singer has been working on new music throughout his journey with Parkinson's, revealing that he has 'great belief' in the material that's sprung out of this period in his life. 'I'm not sure if I'll be able to finish them for release,' Harket said. '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.' He also added that — while appreciative of the concern fans will undoubtedly have for him as they learn of the news — he's already weary from the anticipation of all the messages of sympathy and unsolicited advice headed his way. 'Don't worry about me,' he said when asked what he wants listeners to know at this time. '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.' Harket added, 'Spend your energy and effort addressing real problems, and know that I am being taken care of.' Over the past couple of decades, cases of disability and death caused by Parkinson's have been 'rapidly spreading,' according to the World Health Organization. As of 2019, an estimated 8.5 million people had the disease, an ever-growing population that also includes stars such as Michael J. Fox, Ozzy Osbourne, Foreigner's Mick Jones, Neil Diamond, Linda Ronstadt and Marc Cohn, who have all been open about their diagnoses. A-ha was one of the defining pop groups of the 1980s, landing three entries on the Billboard Hot 100 in the second half of the decade: 'The Sun Always Shines on T.V.,' 'Cry Wolf,' and No. 1 hit 'Take on Me.' The group is comprised of Harket and friends Magne Furuholmen and Paul Waaktaar-Savoy, who formed the group in Oslo in 1982.

Focus on Sustainability, Inclusivity Pays Off for These Top Workplaces
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Employees are increasingly finding that salary and benefits are not enough to keep them happy at work. In fact, only 24 percent of U.S. employees believe their organization cares about their well-being, according to a Gallup poll. This comes as only about one-third of employees feel respected at work and 24 percent of employees feel "very often" or "always" burned out at their job. Improving employee well-being boosts retention. The primary reason people are leaving their job? Engagement and culture, followed by well-being and work-life balance. These factors make up 68 percent of the total reasons employees left their job in 2024, according to Gallup. These factors, as well as increased pay and job security, are also the top reasons that attract employees to new positions. To highlight companies that are fostering positive and supporting workplace culture, Newsweek, in collaboration with Plant-A Insights, published its third-annual ranking of America's Greatest Workplaces. The 2025 list includes the top 1,500 companies that received a 4, 4.5 or 5-star rating based on reviews from U.S.-based employees and other publicly available data. Newsweek and Plant-A collaborate on several workplace rankings that consider different demographic groups, such as women, Black Americans, people with disabilities and LGBTQ+ folks. This ranking, however, considers reviews from all demographics and does not give special emphasis or priority to reviews based on gender, ethnicity or other identity characteristics. Plant-A said the goal of this ranking is to provide an overall assessment of a workplace's quality based on the collective experience of its entire workforce. There are 36 industries represented in the final ranking. Some of the most represented industries on the list include construction, hospitality, manufacturing, professional services, real estate, software development, utilities and wholesale. Photo-illustration by Newsweek/Getty In the nearly 5 million company reviews that were collected from more than 400,000 employee interviews, Plant-A found that employees continue to place the most importance on job security, compensation and the quality of their working environment. Highly rated companies demonstrated the most year-to-year improvements in employee satisfaction in overall compensation, benefits and working conditions that consider mental health. Eli Lilly and Company, known as Lilly, is an American pharmaceutical company with origins dating back to the late 1800s. Its more than 47,000 employees worldwide develop medicine and run clinical trials in the areas of Alzheimer's, cancer, diabetes, obesity, pain and immunology. It has improved its rating from last year's ranking, moving from 4 to 5 stars. Lilly has also been featured on Newsweek's recent rankings of America's greatest workplaces for women, people with disabilities and LGBTQ+ folks. Lilly's Senior Vice President of Talent and Inclusion Julie Dunlap told Newsweek the company strives to be a place where employees enjoy meaningful work, grow their careers and make important contributions to society. "Our approach to employee well-being means fostering a healthy, vibrant work environment while also enriching our employees' lives with their families and in their communities," she told Newsweek in an emailed statement. "We take a broad view of well-being anchored in providing support for mental and physical health, financial knowledge and security, and a culture of rich connections and purpose to inspire all employees to be their best." Dunlap also highlights Lilly's commitment to identifying and developing future leaders within the company and gathering regular feedback from employees through a "speak-up culture where everyone feels their ideas and contributions are welcome and valued." Employee reviews for the 2025 ranking also demonstrate that highlighting an equitable and sustainable culture may pay off big for companies across all industries. In 2025, a greater percentage of employees emphasized the importance of environmental sustainability, up from 65 percent in 2024 to 75 percent. There was also a four percentage point increase in importance placed on diversity, equity and inclusion, from 72 percent to 76 percent, over the last year. According to Plant-A, respondents indicated "a moderate but growing prioritization of social and environmental responsibility" and "a stronger desire for a more inclusive and sustainable workplace culture." "By cultivating a collaborative and inclusive culture, we empower our nearly 50,000 employees to thrive—personally and professionally—by equipping them with the skills and support they need to reach their full potential," Dunlap said. "We deeply value diverse backgrounds, skills and global perspectives to fuel our innovation and strengthen the understanding of the people we serve." For the America's Greatest Workplaces 2025 ranking, employee reviews are weighted based on the respondent's familiarity with the companies they were evaluating. Employees evaluated companies based on a set of factors including belonging and community, sustainability and awareness, compensation and benefits, training and career progression, work-life balance, working environment, company image, mental well-being, job security and corporate culture. Respondents evaluated their own employers based on three of 12 criteria for each driver category on an 11-point scale, rating each driver from "not important at all" to "very important." In addition, Plant-A partnered with to analyze more than one million data points and more than 120 individual KPIs per company, like leadership, compensation, hiring and work-life balance. Social media reviews and an online sweep for pervasive public allegations or lawsuits regarding discrimination, harassment or poor workplace conditions also factored into a company's final score. The total score incorporates the recommendation score, the category score and the desk research. There are over 900 news companies in the top 1500 this year and an over 52 percent ranking improvement among the 593 companies that remained in the top 1500 from last year's list. Health care, professional services and manufacturing were the industries with the biggest year-over-year improvement. In addition to the national list, there are also four sub-industry lists for financial services, health care, manufacturing and technology.
