Legendary Congolese singer Papa Wemba has died. He was 66 years old. The
musician whose real name was Jules Shungu Wembadio Pene Kikumba was
performing at the the Festival
des musiques urbaines d’Anoumabo (FEMUA) in Abidjan, Cote d’Ivore early
today April 24th when he fell in
the middle of his act. He had performed two songs and was performing
the third when he suddenly slumped on stage (that's him behind the
dancers moments before he slumped).
He rushed him to the hospital but died before getting there. There had
been no report of ill health before now. May his soul rest in peace,
amen. See more photos and video of the incident after the cut
