The singer who had made this revelation via a personalised email to his fans had spoken of his struggles as a child growing up with the disease, detailing how he had to stay indoors and miss out on outdoor activities or suffer health problems. The singer also spoke about the financial implications for his family and how he’d prayed to God to take his life when he became severely ill at 20. For Adekunle Gold, regaining health after that encounter was a turning point and he urged his fans to live a 5-star life in any capacity and aspire to extend grace to people around them.
Sequel to his successful North American Catch Me If You Can tour, Adekunle Gold is set to embark on the Australian leg to promote his latest album. The singer has also been slated to headline the Afropunk Festival, one of the biggest music festivals in the United States.
