Zakir, age 38 revealed that he has been struggling with health issues for nearly a year but continued to work due to prior commitments and audience expectations. “I’ve been touring for the last ten years. Though I’m extremely blessed to receive your love and affection, touring this extensively is not good and very healthy.
