Kumasi vigil for Daddy Lumba postponed indefinitely.

The Kumasi edition of the candlelight vigil in tribute to the late music legend, Daddy Lumba, scheduled for Saturday, August 9, has been postponed indefinitely.

The Creative Arts Agency, the organisers, announced in a press statement dated Thursday, August 7, 2025, signed by the acting Executive Secretary of the Agency, Gideon Aryeequaye.

The planned vigil has been postponed indefinitely in respect for the eight individuals who lost their lives in a recent helicopter crash.

This decision comes after President John Dramani Mahama declared three days of national mourning, from August 7 to 9, 2025, in honour of the victims.

A memorial vigil was held in Kumasi, following a successful event at Independence Square in Accra on Saturday, August 2, 2025. Hundreds of fans, fellow musicians, and dignitaries gathered to pay tribute to Charles Kwadwo Fosu, also known as Daddy Lumba. Daddy Lumba passed away on Saturday, July 26, 2025, after a short illness, at the age of 60.

The Creative Arts Agency extended condolences to the families of the victims and the nation, expressing sympathy and solidarity during this challenging time.
