Sonu Nigam’s health issues
While the reason behind Sonu’s surgery is still unknown, earlier in June this year, the singer had shared a video revealing that he was suffering from pinched nerves. He said that he had undergone MRI and CT scans and had spent the week undergoing several medical tests to understand the issue.
“My nerves are pinched. I have been taking MRI and CT scans for a week. I have been taking a lot of medicines. Physiotherapy was very painful. I am taking painkillers now. Due to that, my throat is also a little heavy,” he said.
