Songstress Lira shared her first health update for the year as she has gone under the radar during her time of recovery. 

Lira suffered a stroke in early 2022, when she was in Germany before she was set to perform.

The award winning singer later confirmed in August 2022 according to IOL news that she was diagnosed with Aphasia, a language disorder caused by damage in a specific area of the brain that controls language expression and comprehension.

Aphasia leaves a person unable to communicate effectively with others. Many individuals suffer from aphasia as a result of stroke.

On Thursday Lira posted a video of herself. In the video Lira appears to be on vacation.  soaking up the sunshine on a yacht, taking in the sunset views and the sandy beaches. 

The songstress gave an update regarding her health to her fans saying that she is doing the best she can as she travels the road to recovery.

“Complements of the new year! I haven’t posted this year. My speech healing is very slow, I’m doing the best I can to remain sane. I’m still alive and well. I wish great health, prosperity and love!!,” she wrote on her Instagram post.
