In the show "S'e Luan Topi" with Erjona Rusin, Ermal Mamaqi shared a touching account of the passing of his friend, the renowned artist Dr. Flori. The well-known actor spoke about the singer's struggle to quit drugs, but at a difficult moment in his life, he relapsed. "He actually left drugs behind, he cleaned up and was 100% rehabilitated. I pulled him away from nightlife, drugs, alcohol, and he became very family-oriented. Flori had a moment of weakness due to some things that happened in his life, and unfortunately, he didn't make it through and relapsed," the actor revealed. Mamaqi continued by saying that Dr. Flori's departure left behind a very powerful message: "We even made a song 'don't drink, hit the gym,' and we had a project with Flori to go to schools and show how he quit drugs, but that project didn't happen. Instead, what happened is that he left and sent an even bigger message—that this path leads to death. November 17, when Flori passed away, was a very difficult moment for me. I wanted to contribute as a brother, as a friend, to bring him back... but this was meant to happen. We don't understand God's ways, but even with his death, he left a message."
