Real name Lerato Molapo, Lira suffered a stroke while on tour in Frankfurt, Germany in 2022. The Feel Good hit maker is getting ready for her second performance after her two-year absence, she is set to perform at Magic Music Session, SunBet Arena in Pretoria, July 27.
Speaking to TshisaLIVE, Lira said she's preparing to meet with her band and run through music, as things have changed and she takes longer to prepare.
“It shows how much progress I have made. I can sing songs I never used to previously, and I can’t wait to show my audience how much progress I have made.”
Lira said she is in talks about upcoming performances and writing down her thoughts.
“Even though I have made huge progress, the process is slow. I will ask that my fans respect the process. I’m doing my best but it takes time. So far I am able to sing more of my songs and I’m happy about that. It’s only my second performance with my band since the stroke”, she said.
“It is a heartfelt performance with lots of energy. We are celebrating the gift of life, after all.”
