Tekno Collapses Onstage in South Africa Tour, Rushed to Hospital

Nigerian music producer and artist Tekno, known for hits like “Holiday” and his recent album “The More The Better,” collapsed during a live performance in South Africa. The incident, which occurred during his tour, has sparked an outpouring of prayers and well-wishes from fans across social media platforms.

According to posts circulating on social media, Tekno was in the middle of his set when he suddenly collapsed, experiencing what appeared to be a severe seizure. Eyewitnesses and fans at the venue described the scene as chaotic, with immediate medical attention being called to the stage. The exact cause of the seizure remains undisclosed, but the incident has reignited discussions on the health and well-being of artists in the demanding music industry.

Tekno, whose real name is Augustine Miles Kelechi, has been a prominent figure in the Afrobeats scene, known for his unique sound and energetic performances. His recent album release, which included collaborations with notable artists, was a testament to his enduring influence in African music. However, this incident has overshadowed the celebration of his musical achievements, focusing instead on his health.

The music community, including fellow artists and fans, have taken to social media to express their shock and hope for Tekno‘s swift recovery. Messages of support flood his social media accounts, with many recalling his previous health scare, leading to a temporary music hiatus.

This event has brought back memories of another tragic loss in the South African music scene, where rapper Costa Titch passed away after collapsing on stage due to heart-related issues, highlighting the physical toll of performing arts.
