The artist suffers from the type of cancer glioblastoma, which is a serious diagnosis with very poor prognosis. When he told about the cancer diagnosis, it was likely that he would die within a year.

Among other things, the couple can share the good news that the tumor has shrunk, but it is still tough to cope with the diagnosis.

The 33-year-old breaks down when he talks about what the future may bring.

– I feel that I am much stronger now, but it is so difficult to think about the future. Do you understand what I am more? I honestly do not know what to expect anymore, says the artist choked with tears.

– I do not think you know how you feel about death until you meet it face to face. Am I going to die? That is the most important question. I want to be here, and be the best version I can, he continues.
