Michael Kiwanuka reveals stroke at 38 after album delay

Michael Kiwanuka reveals stroke at 38 after album delay

The Mercury prize winner had a haemorrhagic stroke in July 2025, leading to months in intensive care and a rehabilitation centre. He was unaware of his high blood pressure, a risk factor for Black African males, which caused the stroke. Kiwanuka is now releasing his fifth album, Fudge, in October and hopes to raise awareness.
