MORTEN Recovering After Immune System Failure Forces Emergency Helicopter Transport



MORTEN is recovering after his immune system shut down following a performance, the DJ announced today.

In a post shared to Instagram, the Danish electronic music star said his health “took a turn” when his body started shaking after a performance on August 18th. He needed to be airlifted by helicopter to the Mediterraneo Hospital in Athens, where he ultimately stayed for a period of five days.

MORTEN, who says his “immune system was basically at zero,” contracted Astrovirus, a common form of stomach flu, and an E. coli bacteria infection, which can cause diarrhea, pneumonia, sepsis, urinary tract diseases and other illnesses. The severity of his condition has led him to cancel scheduled performances for the first time in his career.

MORTEN in the month of August had performed in Spain, Malta, France and Austria, among other countries. He’s also been traveling to the island of Ibiza for DJ sets alongside David Guetta every Friday at the famed Hï club, where the duo holds a “Future Rave” residency.

“Despite having a healthy diet and working out every day, touring so much and an accumulated lack of sleep will hit you at one point,” he wrote. “I was diagnosed with Epec and Astrovirus and needed to take some time off to recover, which unfortunately also means I had to cancel shows for the first time in my career. I was really excited to come and play for you all this past week and am really gutted I couldn’t make it. This week of rest and good care by the nurses and doctors has allowed me to come back stronger and I can’t wait to see you all out there again.”

At the time of this writing, MORTEN has not announced when he will return to touring. His fellow DJs and dance music contemporaries are currently reaching out in droves with messages of support.

“Praying for you brother,” Laidback Luke said. “For people who see this comment: I’m writing this as I’m laying in bed all day, recovering from my 2 shows from the weekend. My 1 day off has become holy to me.”

“Bro. Take it easy and get the rest your mind and body need,” added Kaskade.
