Overview
- On Tuesday, July 28, 2026, Hysen told Swedish outlet Hant that he has been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease and made the disclosure public through multiple UK and Swedish outlets.
- He described the condition as a mild form that he treats with medication taken three to four times a day.
- Hysen said his main symptom is a tremor that tends to flare when he is nervous or in crowded situations, while otherwise his day-to-day life remains calm.
- The 66-year-old is a noted former defender who made 72 league appearances for Liverpool between 1989 and 1992, won the 1989–90 title with the club, and earlier won two UEFA Cups with IFK Göteborg.
- The news is likely to affect his immediate family, named in reporting as his wife Camilla Lendot and sons Tobias and Anton, and further updates on his condition or public appearances should be expected from Hant and local sports media.
