It was ‘Love of Music’ artist Stef Kamil Carlens, who is working as a producer on Leki’s comeback record, who broke the news of the stroke. “I posted that message on her social media because of the many questions we received from fans,” he says. “Logical, because in January Leki released her single ‘The River’. It had to herald her comeback after a six-year silence and was also the harbinger of her new album, which we worked intensively on during the corona period, but which is not yet completely finished. Almost immediately after that release, Karoline suffered a stroke and ended up in the hospital. Of course, we had to cut off the promotional tour abruptly. To the outside world she suddenly seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth. Now that Karoline has moved from the hospital to a rehabilitation center and is recovering well, we thought it better to let everyone know what is really going on. Karoline has asked me to post a weekly update about her health on her social media from now on.”
