Brazilian music legend Milton Nascimento suffers from dementia - Legendary Milton Nascimento Honored With Grammy Nomination Despite Health Challenges
Despite being denied a seat among the nominees, Brazilian music legend Milton Nascimento was nominated for a Grammy at the 2024 awards held at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles, California. His nomination came after a collaborative album with Esperanza Spalding was recognised. However, the treatment of Nascimento during the gala left Spalding dismayed.
Nascimento, known for his distinctive falsetto voice, has been a major influence in Brazilian music. He has collaborated with numerous international artists and is considered one of the most successful and influential musicians of recent decades. In 2021, he retired from the stage after turning 80.
Tragically, in March 2023, Nascimento's cognitive state suddenly deteriorated, leading to a diagnosis of Lewy body dementia, the most common form of dementia. Despite his health challenges, Nascimento's impact on the music world was recognised with a Grammy nomination for his collaborative album with Esperanza Spalding in 2024.
Milton Nascimento's Grammy nomination is a testament to his enduring influence in the music world, even in the face of his dementia diagnosis. His distinctive voice and collaborative spirit have left a lasting impact on Brazilian music and beyond. The music community hopes for his continued well-being and recognition.
