It was quiet around Leki for six years, but now she was working with Stef Kamil Carlens on a new record. It is therefore the producer who shares the news on the artist’s Facebook page. “Because of a cerebral infarction, she has to relearn a lot of things,” it reads. “I visited her a few days ago and she is very brave and very positive. She is making slow but steady progress.”
Last month he also announced that Leki was in the hospital. The cerebral malaria flared up again. About ten years ago, the singer contracted cerebral malaria for the first time, the most aggressive and deadly variant that affects the nervous system. She got through the eye of the needle, but the condition weakened her body. Still, she kept going. Performing, making radio as one of the Madamen. It eventually led to a famous burnout.

She recently stepped into the limelight again. With a part in the musical ‘The Bodyguard‘ and a new single, ‘The River† “I don’t drink alcohol anymore, I live vegan. I am the cleanest version of myself ever. I feel good, I am better in my skin,” she said in January in Het Laatste Nieuws. But she also contracted malaria twice, the last time in December in Congo. “Fever again and a head that feels like it’s in a torture device, but my body seems stronger.”
Stef Kamil Carlens will visit her again next week. “You can leave a message in the comments,” he concludes his Facebook message. “She will read them.”
