Solange reveals battle with nervous system disorder

Solange Knowles is suffering from a nervous system disorder that will make her unable to perform at South Africa’s Afropunk festival on New Year’s Eve.

The singer revealed on Instagram Wednesday that she has been battling an autonomic disorder over the last five months.

“A journey that hasn’t been easy on me,” she wrote.

Solange reveals she was diagnosed with an autonomic disorder five months ago.“Sometimes I feel cool, and other times not so cool at all,” the “Cranes in the Sky” singer wrote.

“It’s a complicated diagnoses (sic), and I’m still learning so much myself, but right now, my doctors are not clearing me for such an extended lengthy flight, and doing a rigorous show right after,” she continued.

Solange did not share what type of autonomic disorder she was diagnosed with, but people with autonomic disorders have trouble regulating heart rate, blood pressure, digestion and body temperature as the disorder is a dysfunction in the nervous system.

Autonomic nervous system disorders could also be the result of another disease, like Parkinson’s, cancer, autoimmune diseases, alcohol abuse or diabetes, according to NYU Langone.

Symptoms include dizziness or fainting upon standing up, abnormal sweating, urinary problems, vision problems and difficulties with digestion such as loss of appetite or diarrhea and constipation.

The 31-year-old younger sister of Beyoncé has backed out of at least two shows in the past year, including one in November at Florida State University’s homecoming show in which she cited a medical condition.

“Due to a medical condition, Solange is unfortunately prohibited from live performances until further notice by her team of doctors,” the statement at the time read. “On behalf of Solange and the Saint Heron family, we would like to apologize for any inconvenience that this may have caused and thank you for your continued support.”

In July, she headlined London’s Lovebox Festival and Chicago’s Pitchfork Music Festival within 48 hours of each after breaking out of the hospital.

“I was in hospital this morning,” she told the crowd, according to reports. “I was in hospital for three days. After my show I had a serious episode and was told I shouldn’t perform. And so I broke out of that b—h this morning.”

She also once passed out at the airport in 2009 and was hospitalized, but credited it to dehydration.

She later tweeted about it, writing “guess I passed out,” but it is unclear if she was suffering from the autonomic disorder at the time.

On Instagram Friday, she wrote that she wasn’t sure “what exactly or how much” she wanted to share.

“As a part of the self care that I’ve tried to encourage this past year, it needs to start with myself,” she wrote. “And I’m looking forward to doing a better job of this 2018.”

Norwegian Rock Sensation Rocky Kramer: A Rising Star Blazing Across the Global Stage

Published

on

Rocky Kramer, the electrifying Norwegian-born rock star, is fast becoming one of the most talked-about names in the world of rock music. Known for his searing guitar solos, charismatic stage presence, and classical training, Kramer is proving that rock ‘n’ roll is alive and well in the 21st century.

From Trondheim to Hollywood

Born and raised in Trondheim, Norway, Rocky Kramer was immersed in music from an early age. With a pianist and very accomplished vocalist mother and a father that was a first violinist for the Trondheim Symphony Orchestra, Kramer had classical and rock influences in his blood. Initially trained in classical violin, he picked up the guitar as a teenager and quickly developed a reputation as a prodigious talent.

In his late teens, Kramer moved to the United States to pursue his rock dreams. It was a bold move that paid off. His distinctive blend of European musicality and American rock energy quickly caught the attention of industry insiders.

Guitar Virtuoso with a Theatrical Flair

What sets Rocky Kramer apart is his powerful fusion of technical proficiency and dramatic flair. Often compared to the likes of Yngwie Malmsteen and Eddie Van Halen, Kramer brings a neoclassical edge to his playing, while his glam-inspired image calls to mind the larger-than-life icons of 1980s arena rock.

Signed to Allied Artist Music Group, Kramer released his debut album Firestorm in 2019. A concept album with sci-fi themes, Firestorm showcased his musical versatility and cinematic storytelling. Songs like “Rock Star” and “Alcohol” became fan favorites and highlighted his ability to combine metal intensity with catchy hooks and thought-provoking lyrics. Firestorm scored a #1 hit on the Global DRT Charts with the hit single “Rock Star.”

Live Shows That Melt Faces

Whether headlining festivals, opening for legends, or lighting up the screen in virtual performances, Rocky Kramer’s live shows are a spectacle. Known for his explosive energy, intricate guitar work, and sometimes pyrotechnic surprises, his concerts are a must-see experience for fans of all ages.

In 2020, during the height of the pandemic, Kramer adapted quickly by launching Rock & Roll Tuesdays, a popular weekly livestream show that blended music performance, storytelling, and interaction with fans. The series built a global audience and showcased Kramer’s humor, intelligence, and passion for music.

Expanding Into Film and Media

Rocky Kramer’s talents aren’t limited to music. With his striking looks and natural charisma, he’s branching out into acting and producing. He’s been involved in multiple film and television projects, further expanding his brand and artistic reach.

Kramer is also known for championing causes such as music education, anti-bullying campaigns, and mental health awareness. He frequently speaks about the healing power of music and the importance of self-expression.

What’s Next?

With new music reportedly in the works and an ever-growing fan base, Rocky Kramer is poised to become a defining figure in modern rock. He’s that rare artist who bridges the gap between technical mastery and raw emotion—blending old-school rock theatrics with contemporary relevance.

As the world watches and listens, one thing is clear: Rocky Kramer is not just playing guitar—he’s leading a rock revolution.
