IGIHE has learned that both parties involved in organizing the concert decided to postpone the event to a yet-to-be-announced date due to the artist’s health condition, which prevents him from performing in Kigali as planned.

The ‘Valu Valu’ hitmaker was scheduled to perform at Kigali Universe, and preparations for the event were underway before it was confirmed on December 12, 2024, that the artist had fallen ill and was receiving medical care at Nakasero Hospital.

Following widespread reports of his illness, Chameleone’s son disclosed that it was linked to excessive alcohol consumption. Doctors have warned that unless the artist significantly reduces his drinking, his chances of surviving beyond the next two years are slim.

Recent updates indicate that Jose Chameleone will be transferred to the United States for advanced medical treatment, as his condition requires specialized care not available in Uganda.

The concert of Ugandan singer Jose Chameleone, originally scheduled for January 3, 2025, in Kigali, has been postponed following the artist’s illness.
