He added that artists often commit to performing at events regardless of their health, even if they have a fever as high as 104 degrees. Mika said Daler may have similarly honoured his professional commitment despite being unwell. He revealed that the singer had been in poor health and had undergone major surgery recently. Although Daler had asked him not to disclose these details, Mika said that as a brother and friend, he felt he had the right to share the truth.
