Anatoly Pakhalenko, member and founder of Nordic folk band Nytt Land, suffered a heart attack ten days ago—a sudden event that took both the group and fans by surprise, as there had been no prior symptoms or warning signs.
A few days before the incident, Anatoly visited a hospital due to mild chest discomfort, a move that proved crucial in securing early treatment and preventing further complications. His condition is now stable, and he is undergoing medical evaluations to determine the next steps in his recovery.
On medical advice, which calls for at least a month without air travel, Nytt Land has canceled and rescheduled all performances planned for the next 30 days, moving them to next year.
La banda expresó que el momento ha sido difícil, principalmente por la incertidumbre inicial, pero que ahora la prioridad es la recuperación total de Anatoly. Manifestaron también su agradecimiento por las muestras de apoyo recibidas por parte de la comunidad musical y de sus seguidores.
Nytt Land remains hopeful that Anatoly will return to the stage soon, and that such an incident will not occur again in the future.
