‘I can now talk’ – Lira makes progress since suffering stroke

Award-winning singer Lira has given her fans another health update since her life changed forever due to suffering a stroke.

This past week marked three months since the Afro-pop songstress suffered a stroke in Germany. Fans and the country as a whole have been concerned over her health status ever since, however, the artist has been consistent in providing us with updates. 

The singer was in Germany to perform at an event when she had the stroke, her management team confirmed in April.

Lira shared a video of her and fans singing her song Let There Be Light. The touching performance was captured during one of her old concerts. The crowd are seen with their phones lit up during the special moment.

“Yesterday marked 3 months since I had a stroke. I’ve made such awesome progress. I’m proud of myself and I give thanks to God. Your prayers have been massively appreciated.

“I can talk now, although I need a little patience. I can read and I can write.

“So much love for me makes me emotional. I am doing so well! With much love!” she wrote on Instagram.
