Tiwa Savage’s gig in Nairobi marked the last international show before she announced her decision to take an indefinite break from music.
The Nigerian songbird shared stage with Congolese singer Fally Ipupa to thrill revelers in Nairobi at the Walker Town Concert held in Uhuru Gardens on September 30, 2023.
Weeks after the gig, Tiwa Savage announced her decision to go on a music hiatus for the next few months, citing health concerns.
In a statement on October 17, the Nigerian musician explained that she has been battling a virus for some weeks before doctors instructed her to take vocal rest for some months.
“To my dear Savage Soldiers, I’ve been fighting off a virus for the past few weeks and was today firmly instructed to be on strict vocal rest for the next few months,” Tiwa wrote in a statement.
The 43-year-old songbird said she has been compelled to cancel all her upcoming shows, including her highly anticipated London show.
“I’m heartbroken and devastated but I have to do this to save what’s left of my voice. I’m so sorry. I love you all and promise to be back performing once I’m fully healed,” the statement added.
