Brazilian music legend Milton Nascimento has dementia: family
Celebrated Brazilian musician Milton Nascimento, 82, whose soaring voice has enchanted fans worldwide, has been diagnosed with dementia, his family said.
The Grammy-winning artist, a contemporary of other Brazilian icons such as Caetano Veloso, Gilberto Gil and Chico Buarque, experienced a "sudden worsening of his cognitive status" earlier this year, his son Augusto Nascimento said in an interview published Thursday by Piaui magazine.
After a series of tests, he was diagnosed with Lewy body dementia, the most common form of the disease.
Nascimento is being taken care of at his home in Rio de Janeiro.
The singer retired from the stage when he turned 80, but was nominated for a Grammy this year in the category Best Jazz Vocal Album for his collaboration with American singer and bassist Esperanza Spalding.
Spalding took to Instagram to complain that the "living legend" had not been given a seat at her table "among the A-listers" on the ceremony floor, and held up a cutout of his photo.
