Many of you know, I recently got back from South Africa where I was diving with tiger sharks and recording a couple of songs with my great friend Patricia Lewis. Patricia has recently been diagnosed with some tumors on her vocal chords and I wanted to go down to see her and sing with her in case I never have the opportunity to work with her and her amazing talent again.
We had a blast and I hope soon you will all be able to here the songs we did but in the meantime take a look at some of the videos we made down there. I wish patricia all the best and I ask you all to keep her in your prayers as she goes through surgery. I also wanna thank her and her husband Mark for looking after us so well down there…
Respect, DH

Former Baywatch star and America’s Got Talent judge David Hasselhoff showed he’s got heart by flying halfway across the world to stand by an ailing singer friend who may never sing again. Hasselhoff arrived in Johannesburg earlier this month to learn Afrikaans in preparation for recording what could be his friend’s swansong.
Popular South African singer and TV celebrity Patricia Lewis, recently discovered that she had non-cancerous tumors on her thyroid. Before having them surgically removed this month Lewis wanted to record what could be the last songs of her career as the operation could permanently damage her vocal chords. When The Hoff heard the bombshell news he dashed from America to record two songs with Lewis who has been his friend since the Eighties. Last week he also appeared on stage in Johannesburg with Lewis to perform the new songs. One is an English duet titled ‘As I Am’ while the other is an Afrikaans song with the English title ‘Miss Kiss Kiss Bang’.
‘David sounds fantastic,’ said Lewis. ‘His Afrikaans with an American twang is very unique. I coached him line by line. It was hilarious and a lot of fun. We killed ourselves laughing in the studio. But he is fast learner. He only took a few hours to master the song.’
Lewis said she was flabbergasted when David announced he was flying to South Africa to record with her.
‘It showed me what an amazing person he is. I was overwhelmed and grateful. He rearranged his schedule at the drop of a hat and spent 22 hours flying to get here. That’s the mark of a true friend.’

We wish Patricia all the very best!
