Due to a mysterious illness, the winner of “Mam Talent” was close to death. He spoke up

Michael Grimm, who won the fifth edition of “Got Talent”, was hospitalized due to a mysterious illness. The musician was unconscious and connected to a ventilator, and the doctors had no idea what was wrong with him. For several weeks he was fighting for his life and decided to talk about his experiences.

Michael Grimm initially had symptoms that indicated he was overtired, which made it difficult for him to tour. His condition deteriorated over time – the singer unexpectedly collapsed, he could not stay on his feet or even keep his head upright. In addition, he felt very confused and could not communicate fluently. His wife took him to the hospital in early June 2023. There was a drastic escalation of symptoms.

In the ward, Grimm began to rave, his blood pressure kept rising, and he began to convulse. Doctors had to put him in a medically induced coma and transferred him to the intensive care unit. The musician was put on a ventilator and given medication to prevent stroke and cardiac arrest.

After two weeks, the situation was stabilized enough for the 44-year-old to be disconnected from the ventilator. He began to breathe on his own, and then the doctors began to turn off the drugs that kept him asleep. After waking up, the side effects were hallucinations, anxiety and other difficulties. Grimm had difficulty speaking due to intubation, and after two weeks in a coma his muscles began to atrophy.

The next stage of treatment was rehabilitation – of the voice and the whole body. After another few weeks of intense work, Grimm was discharged home. In his first interview, the winner of “Mam Talent” said: “Every day my condition is improving. It was a layer of things that have accumulated over the years – I exposed my body to harsh conditions,” reports themessenger.com.

He emphasizes that he is ready to return to work and is already planning the next concerts. “When I was in the hospital, I was close to death. The liver was fatty, the kidneys were not functioning well. Now I have to stop bad habits and introduce new ones. In a way, I feel like I have been reborn,” he admitted. And he emphasized that he owes almost everything good that has happened to him recently to his wife.
