Keyboardist/vocalist of a-ha known as MAGS is set to have a heart surgery this coming summer, from a pre-existing situation that was discovered in 1999. The ailment is called Artrial Fibrillation is very common now but is often not detected, it mainly is a murmur but does develop into other things, MAGS has been aware of this issue since 1999 when after a-ha reunited MAGS was driving and he fell asleep basically from this condition, and then it was detected, MAGS has used Beta Blockers, but now it has been mentioned he will undergo surgery in the summer. This condition was NOT the cause or deciding factor in a-ha calling it a day, since it was MAGS that was the main member who called for the "exit" of the band now more than later.

a-ha has a few releases coming shortly a tour dvd cd set is set for April 1st release in Germany and the world to follow, also 2 books of art work and photography will hit stores and amazon in late March.
