Irresistible-after the hit, Gettomasa told on stage how something important was forgotten when there was a break from the stage.

The artist said that it was challenging for him to stand at the concerts in the summer of 2024 and he performed “biting his teeth. However, health problems made the artist realize that a complete stop was a must and the only solution.
– I certainly wouldn’t have realized to take a break if my health hadn’t gotten to the point where I have to take it. In retrospect, the whole thing felt more like a blessing, because I feel that during my break I realized I needed this, he told Iltalehte.
Gettomasa said during the break that he understood how health is more valuable than success.
– I definitely understood that my own health must come before success. That there is no amount of money or no amount of hype, status or list positions that can supersede health. That is the most important thought I have received.
In January, the artist described his current condition as good.
– Health is really good. I feel better than I have in many, many years. I’m healthy as a goat. The break made a difference, he smiles.
