Hany Shaker’s health condition had improved in recent times Nadia Mostafa: He prayed Fajr and asked for a little water shortly before his death

The death of artist Hany Shaker continues to dominate social media conversations, amid a widespread state of grief and shock that has swept across his fans and admirers in the Arab world, following his passing in the French capital, Paris, on Sunday, after a sudden deterioration in his health condition following a battle with illness.

Artist Nadia Mostafa, a member of the Musicians Syndicate board, revealed emotional details about the final hours of the late singer’s life, noting that his health condition had shown noticeable improvement in recent days before it suddenly and rapidly declined, leaving doctors and those around him in shock.

“He performed the Fajr prayer”

Nadia Mostafa, who remained in constant contact with his wife Nehla Tawfiq during his treatment, added that the early hours of the day of his passing were calm at first. Hany Shaker performed the Fajr prayer normally, then drank a small amount of water, before suddenly suffering a severe respiratory crisis that led to a rapid deterioration of his vital functions.

According to her account, he was rushed to the intensive care unit at Foch Hospital in Paris, where he was placed on life-support machines. However, his condition did not respond to treatment, and he later passed away, leaving his wife—who had accompanied him throughout his treatment journey—in a state of shock.

The funeral prayer is scheduled to be held after Wednesday noon prayer at the Police Mosque in 6th of October City, followed by condolence ceremonies on Thursday, expected to witness significant attendance from both fans and artists bidding farewell to the late singer.
