In 2017 during a performance at the Minnesota State Fair, local publication The Minnesota Star Tribune reported that he “barely moved his lips”, adding: “He rarely looked as if he was taking the kind of deep breaths required to sing with palpable passion.

And he never seemed the least bit winded after any song.”Earlier this year, the singer made headlines when a video of him seeming to have difficulty while performing sparked renewed concerns over his health.
