On Instagram, Jaehn received overwhelming support for the moving post. “Health is the most important thing. Take your time,” says one comment, or: “Health always comes first.” Another user commented: “Take your time and come back stronger.”
New first name “Fee”
Jaehn made headlines in April.

The musician also explained that he prefers the non-binary pronoun “dey/denen” in German – based on the English “they/them”.
