Hoping you’re recovering 100 % And keeping fans happy w/ new amazing music . I’m far away in ARIZONA USA …. I’ve become a fan and most of all wish you well . You have not just an amazing vocal range , but a great name ( STAN ) as that’s MY name as well ! I’ve experienced cancer with my Father and Mother . Now facing a open heart surgery for my sister . So in some way I relate . All the Best Stan and just got the new Christmas song ! Your rendition of Amazing Grace is beyond amazing & don’t dream it’s over is the Best . Thanks for sharing your incredible journey . You are a incredible person who helps to make other people happy thru your music & message of HOPE . Gods Blessings ~ 🙏

This guy never change, he's still the same as when I first saw him in the Australian idol. Still a cheerful guy. Very genuine guy.

[@ms.martiegallego8834]

[@anniestanford-rossini647]

What a beautiful spirit this gorgeous, talented soul has.

[@dannybourne_]

Stan is a handsome champion and a great singer.

[@irishsailor9327]

God Speed my Friend. I will always keep you and your Family in my prayers.

[@IaMoDiNaRy]

Wow! I just discovered this very talented singer. I'm so glad he's doing well. I've lost several family members to cancer. They suffered terribly before they died. The human body and mind are built for survival. Unfortunately, that can work against a terminally ill person when it would be so much more merciful if they could just pass on more peacefully..... I've personally had more experience with that than most people. :-( I'm very happy for Stan and his family that he's doing so well. Blessings sent your way....

[@Skybar23]

I feel like hes a complete artist ever since this diagnosis...its like he approaches his music differently

[@Koda19651]

I just came across this artist a few months ago. Love his voice and music. I pray God watches over him and blesses him with continuous good Heath. Prayers for Stan Walker!🙏🙏🙏

Good documentary on KZbin. "STAN".

[@123sonner]

[@blackjordan3444]

I wonder if God set him up financially for this. Like his success could be a blessing to touch others in his situation.

[@DKashman]

Been a fan since I first saw him on that Idol show I knew he would do well and he has, He looks to thin to me now but good on him and glad to see he is doing well now.

[@JTScott1988]

Cancer will do that

[@valeriewilliams7078]

[@denisehadfield7995]

This is so old, anyone know how Stan is now 2022 ? Would love to know. Stan you are a great example to all New Zealander and Māori I’m a Pakeha don’t hold that against me. Lol. Lol.

[@mareenalewis4241]

More than 30-40 family members?😳 what is polluting New Zealand? This is frightening. Such a beautiful, kind and talented young man. He has made a point to spot light education about Maori culture and now this. He is a blessing on earth. ❤

[@jemmack4492]

It’s a genetic thing not an environment thing.

[@aliciagabriel8735]

​@jemmack4492 thank u for this statement. God bless u!

[@iwnunn7999]

The dude can really sing too

[@canttouchdylan]

Umm very impressed that Karl said tangata whenua! Cultural competence FTW!

[@samsonchristensen5420]

Same here!!! Im so impressed aye.. didn't expect that😂

[@phoebetuuta2557]

Regards to his people of the land? Doesn’t make sense?

[@canttouchdylan]

@@phoebetuuta2557 Yeah, you're right. In the literal sense it's not quite right, but you get what he's trying to say.

[@lindapfister2484]

Where can u see this doc

[@marieholden3237]

Hi it’s Ataahua te Kani not Marie it is ataahua stan walker is my 2cousin so sorry stan walker😭

[@Pvt213]

I reckon the guy doing the interview should have dropped a little Marvin Gaye himself, just for laughs. That's how you turn the interview into more of a conversation. Otherwise it's just quick fire questions

[@ruthruthruth9859]

Uncle

[@ruthruthruth9859]

He’s my incle

[@joefinau1741]

I battled same cancer beginning of 2020 and 2wks b4 xmas 2020 i beat it. Unlike stan, im a 41yr old solo father of 3 daughters. I aint famous and dont have all the money etc but you know what I have and know? I know I am stronger mentally, physically and my mindset was and always positive since day1 diagnosed with gastric cancer. 2nd - my daughters, credit goes to them for being stronger then ever. Point is. I aint famous, i also lived a similar life like Stan, i still battle life up to this day. If stan werent famous. Would he still get to tell his story???
