Freddie Jackson has been diagnosed with kidney disease at age 67. The ’90s R&B hitmaker made the announcement via an Instagram video.
After a lot of thought and reflection, I’ve come to a point where I feel I’m ready to talk about a recent chapter in my life,” Jackson, 67, said in the video shared on Wednesday.
“I have been diagnosed with kidney disease. This journey has had its challenges but I’ve decided to face it with openness and resilience.
Going forward, Jackson also announced his partnership with a research organisation to support further work on innovative treatments.
“It’s important to me that I share this with you, not just as a part of my personal story, but as a way to make a positive difference,” he said, announcing that he’s partnered with the National Kidney Foundation to raise awareness about kidney health and provide support for those who are affected by kidney disease.
“As I take this step, I’m turning my personal experience into a platform for greater understanding and advocacy. With your help, we can work towards better awareness and improved outcomes for everyone with kidney disease.
