Garrett Bolden on Lani Misalucha’s condition: I was saddened, but I can see she’s fighting it

Like many music lovers, Garrett Bolden was deeply saddened when he learned that Lani Misalucha’s recent battle with bacterial meningitis affected her hearing.

Nevertheless, the “The Clash” alumnus was inspired by how Asia’s Nightingale kept fighting.

“I was really saddened po nung nabalitaan ko po ’yung nangyari kay Miss Lani and, I can see her struggle sa face niya, nakikita ko sa mga guestings niya po ... pero mas nangingibabaw po ’yung nakikita ko, she’s fighting it na, kumbaga, she’s gonna get better,” Garrett told reporters in a press conference on Friday.

“Naisip ko po what if sa ’kin mangyari yun, siguro baka ako, mapanghinaan nalang po ako ng loob eh, pero ayun po, naisip ko po na she’s fighting it, yes parang, ‘laban lang po,’” he added.

In December, Lani revealed that she lost hearing

The iconic Filipino singer, known as the one and only Asia’s Nightingale, admitted that she was worried about her singing due to the effects of the life-threatening illness.

Garrett Bolden signed with GMA Music after finishing first-runner up on “The Clash” Season 1, where Lani served as judge and mentor.

The soulful balladeer, who won the People’s Choice Award for Favorite Male Artist at the 2020 Awit Awards, is starting the New Year with an inspiring new single.

“Our Love,” which Garrett composed himself during quarantine amid COVID-19 pandemic, will be available for streaming on Apple Music, Spotify, YouTube Music, and other digital stores worldwide starting Jan. 11. – Margaret Claire Layug/RC, GMA News
