The singer close to his mother in hospital: together they fight against her cancer and he writes an emotional song
Ghaliwho has always known how to tell the most intimate nuances of his life through music, shared a moment of extraordinary vulnerability with an open heart. In a long post on X, the rapper revealed the difficult situation he is experiencing. His mother received a cancer diagnosis for the third time. Devastating news that pushed Ghali to write what he himself defines “the most important song of my life”.
In his touching message, the artist describes the day they received the terrible news:
“My mother had to have surgery, a month ago she was diagnosed with cancer for the third time. When we woke up that morning, the sky was gray. My mother started praying and while she was doing so she was crying, I could hear her tears falling onto the carpet.”
Every word of Ghali conveys the pain and fear experienced in those days. An experience that many recognize as familiar: the battle against time and against a invisible enemy. The questions that crowded Ghali’s mind are those of a son faced with impotence in the face of illness. A tangle of thoughts that transform into anxiety and uncertainty, a feeling that anyone who has faced a similar ordeal can deeply understand.
“What should I do before I go into the operating room? How should I spend these last days with her? Should we watch movies together? Will the prayers we have prayed be enough?”
In those days, Ghali confessed that he had reached the point of questioning his musical career. The artist he said he felt alone. Even though he was surrounded by doctors, nurses and hospital staff who kept asking him how he was doing, he couldn’t find a satisfactory answer within himself.
“I thought about quitting music several times and I often shouted it in my mother’s face.”
His mother, despite the pain, encouraged him not to give up. With her words, a woman tested by illness gave her son the strength to move forward. It reminded him that his art is “a gift from God”. Thanks to his music he has found a new family, made up of the “brothers and sisters” who follow him.
In the midst of the emotional storm, during breaks from long moments in hospital, Ghali he found the inspiration to create. Going out for a walk to get some fresh air, his new song was born, Don’t panic. An emotional text that reconciles the artist with the profound meaning of things and gives him new energy to face his mother’s difficult journey: a “cure” in the broadest sense of the term.
