A Slovenian opera singer, Ambroz Bajec-Lapajne has shared a youtube video of himself singing Schubert while undergoing a brain surgery for a brain tumor in Netherlands.
In the video, he was shown performing the first and last couples of Schubert’s “Gute Nacht” during the procedure. This was necessary so that doctors at University Medical Center Utrecht could monitor his ability to sing and recognize the key change.
In a similar case, another video went viral showing a man playing guitar and singing songs including the Beatles' "Yesterday" while having a tumor removed. You can read the story here.
Bajec-Lapajne said the surgery was more than a year ago and he is "doing fine, continuing my professional singing career."
