Gary Valenciano has admitted that he is having struggles with his voice and throat as he prayed for his healing ahead of his musical theater comeback.
The singer, dubbed “Mr. Pure Energy,” opened up about his condition on his Twitter page yesterday, July 7. This comes days before the opening of the musical “Joseph the Dreamer,” in which he will perform for the first time in over two decades.
“Lord, you know I’ve been struggling with my voice and throat for weeks now. ‘Joseph The Dreamer’ is in 8 days. I need your help Lord,” he said. “Thank You for your faithfulness. I know You will never put me to shame. [Please] come, heal, and restore my voice. In your name Jesus I pray, Amen.”
