Few days ago it was reported that popular Congolese musician Papa Wemba died after collapsing on stage during a performance in Ivory Coast.
It was reported that the king of Rumba suffered an attack while performing at Festival des Musiques Urbaines d’Anoumabo (FEMUA) and due to lack of emergency health service at the venue of the concert, he died before he was rushed to the hospital.
In reaction to the tragic event, Collins Enebeli, father of music producer, Don Jazzy, took to Facebook to share his thoughts and advise on the need to provide healthcare service at concert venues.
Read what he posted on his Facebook page below
“The sad news of the death of Papa Wemba is a wake up call for artists and their managers to see reason why promoters and event organisers need the services of healthcare service providers for artists while on engagement for their events to avoid preventable fatalities as this.
Most artists due to their busy schedules are known not to be paying enough attention to their health and listening to their bodies which may have been under pressure and stretched to breaking point without them knowing it. Artiste managers need to insist that the services of a trained health personnel who specializes in handling celebrities is factored into their performance contract to ensure that artists are well monitored and looked after when on professional engagement anywhere in the world.
