The successful Catalan singer Nil Moliner shared details on Catalunya Ràdio about the Bell's facial paralysis he suffered last September, confirming he is now fully recovered after the major scare.

The musician, known for hits like Libertad and Vuela alto, explained in the interview with Roger Escapa on El Suplement that the paralysis was caused by a combination of work stress and a complicated personal period. He noticed the loss of mobility in half of his face during a rest period amidst a demanding tour.

"Sometimes, my eyes still tremble… but I am totally recovered."

Moliner was diagnosed with Bell's palsy, an inflammation of the facial nerve, and was fortunate for his rapid recovery, which began just three weeks after the diagnosis. Doctors had warned him that healing could take between two weeks and nine months.
The singer decided to share his situation on social media, showing that he could only smile with one side of his face, to help other patients and face the situation with humor. This decision was crucial, as many followers recommended rehabilitation, which was "great" for his recovery.
In addition to his health, Moliner discussed his new album, Nexo, which includes very personal tracks, such as a song dedicated to a friend who died in a traffic accident and another inspired by the feeling of falling in love he experienced in early 2025 upon meeting his current partner.
