- Popular singing icon Verni Varga was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease, according to a report by Bandera
- The country’s ultimate jazz diva was known for her awesome vocal improvisations and was tagged as one of Philippines’ greatest “divas”
Philippine Music Industry’s “The Vamp” Verni Varga was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. This, according to Jobert Sucaldito’s reliable source from Bandera, was the reason why the veteran performer has been out of the limelight lately. Vernie was a no show in most of her projects, concerts and TV guestings.
Before this, Verni is well-known for doing corporate shows thus another title– “Queen of Corporate Shows.” She previously shared in an interview with Philstar that she’s happy living a peaceful life with her husband and three children.
When asked why she chose the quiet life, Verni simply stated her reasons.
“It was one of the best decisions I ever made. Don’t get me wrong. I love my career as it has given me so much. I still regularly do corporate shows and special concerts every now and then, as singing and performing will forever be part of my life. But my priorities have changed over the years: God, family, and career — in that order.”
We are yet to confirm the current condition of Verni. Meanwhile, we all wish The Vamp well.
