Danny Ilkka Lipsanen celebrates his 82nd birthday today, Tuesday. Jani Korpela

Entertainment legend Danny, Ilkka Lipsanenthought this birthday would go smoothly at the villa in Rauma, but congratulatory messages started pouring into the phone as early as seven in the morning. Danny turns 82 today, Tuesday.

– Many hundreds of messages have already arrived. I am well received and grateful for them. Even people who have been in the industry for a long time, and with whom I have not dealt with before, have congratulated, Danny thanks.

He is celebrating his birthday very happily.

– I have been able to live my life healthy enough. When you know how much different diseases bother people. I only have a broken knee, nothing else.

At the end of August, Danny experienced a tragic setback when the doctor unexpectedly canceled the planned knee replacement surgery. Danny, who has type 2 diabetes, had too high of a blood sugar for surgery. Now Danny has been following a low-sugar diabetes diet for almost a month.

– Diabetes has raised my blood sugar high, and I’m not so focused on it, but now I have to focus.

The blood sugar level must be below six in order for Danny to be able to have a joint replacement. He measures his blood sugar four times a day.

– The diet has gone well. Now there is one more goal to strive for, to be able to graze in the meadows and travel in winter again. I just received a call from my brother in America and an invitation to go there.

Danny hopes he can get another surgery appointment for November. The blood sugar value has been in a downward direction for almost a month.

Celebrating a birthday includes a very special treat.

– Helmi wants to make blinis for me. We eat different roe and onions with them. It’s my go-to food now that the crabs from this year have already been eaten. Now I can’t eat cake, it’s full of sugar and I have this kind of pressure on me. Now you have to get your blood sugar down and think about what you eat.

– I am grateful that Helmi has helped me for quite a long time. In time, he will then focus on his own life and his own studies.

In honor of his birthday, Danny and Helmi also travel to Turku to pick up a special valuable item that has been arranged as a birthday surprise for Danny.

New gigs are planned for autumn, but the cancellation of Retrojeng’s tour still saddens the star.

– They are more modest gigs than this Retrojeng tour would have been, but I don’t want to be the kind of employer who keeps an orchestra, but doesn’t go to gigs. I have incredibly talented musicians in the band.

Danny was supposed to perform on Retrojeng’s tour together Erkki Liikanen and Frederikin with. Frederik canceled the tour because he felt the promised gig fees were too small.

– I would have gladly given it to our Finnish audience, which I have been able to serve for 60 years. It would have been so great to have Erkki Liikanen on stage together with us. When you also don’t know how many years are still ahead.

Overall, Danny’s birthday mood is good and grateful.

– Thanks to all the congratulators. I am overwhelmed by the number of congratulations. Apparently, the creator has also given mankind slightly longer lifespans than before.

Masked Singer Finland Today, Tähkä, Luuranko, Huisku, Kakka and Minttu, who will perform first, will take the stage. In tonight’s episode, the shy character coming from the shadows of the factories is revealed as a lust athlete who flirts and understands other people, including telemarketers.

You can also get an additional hint. According to it, Minttu has ended up in Kaija Koo’s back room.

– Minty Marianne candies have been enjoyed there, Jenni Poikelus flashes.

Still, not all of my detective colleagues have a flash, at least not right away. What is Jenni talking about? He is referring to Kaija Koo Unyielding-to the incident from 2001 that he tells in his biography. At that time, Kaija wanted to raise the spirit of his band members before the gig. He came up with a different idea: what if everyone shoved something up their butt? First we considered Fisherman’s Friend lozenge, but we were afraid it would sting. It was rejected. Then Kaija remembered the minty Marianne candy she found on the hotel pillow and suggested it. It was accepted. In Iltalehti’s previous story, a specialist in gastrosurgery still urged to refrain from introducing foreign objects into the rectum, even though the Marianne candy itself is not very dangerous due to its shape.

In Masked Singer, Minttu does not play Kaija Koota, but Chlamydia. Has been selected as a song The life of a little boy. The corn sings Towards the heart fields -song that has been made famous Vesterinen With Ensembles. The skeleton, on the other hand, interprets Mirellan Diamond tea and Huisku Cheekin I’m swinging. Kaka’s turn is last. He trusts Alanis Morissetten Ironic– hit.

Masked Singer Finland today on MTV3 at 19:30 & in Katsomo. See all TV programs and broadcast times in Telku’s TV guide.
