The news of the death of Gabriel Cotabiță, at the age of 69, shocked fans and many of the artist’s stage colleagues, who did not imagine that his health condition was so serious. Mihai Trăistariu says, however, that there were signs that the famous performer of light music has more serious problems than he let on.

Traistariu told, exclusively for Click! what got him thinking:
“This year, in the spring, we had a concert at the Constantin Tănase Theatre. There were about 10 artists, and he was the first to enter at 19:00, but he didn’t enter, because the rescue came and took him. So, since the spring he felt bad, this was a sign”.
There were signs that his health is very fragile before, says Mihai Trăistariu.
“A year or two ago, I sang with him all summer on the seaside, at Olimp, and he had a concert night after night. I noticed that he was already singing from the bottom, from a bar stool, he could no longer stand. I have since realized that he is weak. He probably felt that his body was slowly giving out. I was watching him from behind the scenes, so to speak, and I was pleasantly surprised at how he recovered from the heart attack 9 years ago. I said to myself: Look what a chance he had from God! But look, a stroke can make you weak…“, the artist also declared, exclusively for Click!
