ALBAWABA - The great Egyptian singer Hany Shaker passed away at the age of 73 in the French capital, Paris, leaving behind a great artistic career that spanned more than half a century, his manager announced Sunday.
During his career, Hany Shaker presented hundreds of songs, including masterpieces in classical romance, of which he is considered one of the most prominent figures, according to the singer's business manager, Khader Aknan.
His health deteriorated significantly in the final hours, as he lost almost complete consciousness due to a drop in blood oxygen levels, which negatively affected cognitive centers in his brain.
He later passed away in the intensive care unit at Foch Hospital, where he was on a ventilator and under close medical supervision, along with his wife and son. Doctors were unable to raise his blood oxygen levels, as his body showed no response.
The crisis began with severe bleeding that required immediate medical intervention, including extensive platelet transfusions, before Shaker suffered a sudden cardiac arrest, which was successfully managed through resuscitation.
His recovery then began, but his prolonged stay in intensive care led to general muscle weakness, necessitating his transfer to France for a specialized rehabilitation program. His condition improved there before he suffered a relapse due to respiratory failure, which ultimately led to his death.
