Read Don Jazzy's father's advise to artists & managers following the sudden death of Congolese singer, Papa Wemba

Collins Enebeli who is music producer, Don Jazzy's
father, took to his Facebook wall to share a word
of advise to artists and managers following the
sudden death of Congolese legendary singer, Papa
Wemba. He wrote;
"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 specialises 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. That way, risks
such as this will be detected early enough
and efforts made to seek help before it is
too late. In the past, The King of soul
music James Brown died while on a series
of shows lined up for him. The same thing
happened to the King of pop Michael
Jackson who died while also under pressure
from preparations for his mother of all
shows 'This is it'. We are yet to recover
from the shocking news of the demise of
the purple rain crooner Prince earlier this
week and now it is our own dear Papa
Wemba. This is the reason we must all see
the need to engage the services of
professionals like Vickie Roberts Hospitality
services who had been a veteran advocate
for our artistes to be given good health
care checks and having standby health
personnel when they are on duty call
anywhere in the world. Like John the
Baptist, she has been lending her voice to
this call and this might just be one more
last call for us to save the lives of our
stars by doing the right thing as a stitch
in time saves nine. May the soul of Papa
Wemba rest in perfect peace".
