People close to Nakovska told a news outlet that the singer is alive but currently receiving treatment in hospital. Those close to her rejected the death claims and said the circulating posts were inaccurate.
There are no further official details available about the reason for her hospitalisation, her current medical condition, how long she has been in care, or when she might be discharged.
