Mavado to miss UK show due to illness
Dancehall artiste Mavado has been forced to cancel his upcoming performance in Nottingham, England on Saturday, July 27th because of an undisclosed illness.
“It is with a heavy heart that I have to announce to my UK fans that the show at the Motorpoint Arena, Nottingham, slated for this Saturday, July 27, has been rescheduled to September 27th,” Mavado explained in a statement shared on Instagram by Captain Bwoy Entertainment, the promoter of the event.
Mavado apologised to his legion of fans by posting a black-and-white photo on his verified Instagram account. He captioned the photo with praying emojis to the effect: “My UK fans, sorry for the change of plan. I have no choice. Gully Gad will be back real soon.”
The decision comes after Mavado fell ill with a severe flu following a performance in London.
“I have been bedridden all week and had to seek medical attention. I am over the worst of it and recovering, but on the advice of doctors, I am unable to perform this Saturday,” Mavado said.
He expressed gratitude to his fans for their support during his four-week stay in the UK.
Mavado is known for songs including Whe Dem a Do, I’m So Special and Star Bwoy.
