His health worsened sharply in his final hours after he reportedly lost consciousness due to a severe drop in blood oxygen levels, which affected brain function, before passing away in intensive care at Foch Hospital, according to Emarat Al Youm.
Earlier, singer Nadia Mostafa, a member of the Musicians’ Syndicate board, said on Facebook that Shaker had suffered a sudden respiratory failure.
A source close to him told Egyptian newspaper Masrawy that his health had been fragile since early March, when he was first admitted with severe colon inflammation and bleeding. He underwent surgery to remove part of the colon and remained under close medical care.
The source added that his condition later worsened due to repeated bleeding, leading doctors to remove the entire colon. He also required intensive treatment, including IV nutrition and tube feeding.
The complications affected several vital organs, including the kidneys, and his heart reportedly stopped for several minutes before being successfully revived.
He later travelled abroad with medical approval for rehabilitation to restore his physical functions, showing initial improvement before being readmitted to intensive care.
Tributes from across the Arab world have since poured in, honouring his long career and legacy, with expectations of official and public funeral arrangements reflecting his stature.
