‘I feel great’: Stevie Wonder feeling younger after undergoing kidney transplant
In announcing
two of his newest song, singer Stevie Wonder said that he feels three decades
younger after undergoing a kidney transplant late last year.
During the
virtual press conference on Tuesday to talk about his songs, Can’t Put It in
The Hands of Fate and Where Is Our Love Song, Stevie said that he
did the surgery last December, and he now feels good.
“I was
blessed with a new kidney and that happened on December 6, 2019 … I feel great.
My voice feels great,” he said.
“I told my
daughter Aisha, ‘I’m going to be like five years younger than you now. I’m
going from being 70 to being 40.’ I feel like I’m about 40 right now. I’m
feeling great.”
Stevie announced that he would be doing surgery during a concert in London last year when he was rubbishing rumours about his health.
Meanwhile,
the entertainer’s two new tracks will be released under his new So What’s The
Fuss Music label with Republic Records. The proceeds from Where Is Our Love
Song will be donated to Feeding America.
“Not seeing
people starve is so very important … The commitment for me is don’t just talk
about it, be about it. Use your music to make a difference,” he said.
