According to reports, highlife legend, Paapa Yankson may have left his hospital bed against doctor’s advice to perform at the ‘Bottles & Bands’ festival last Saturday, and for his actions he gained up to Ghc 50,000.  If that was the case, did he really have to risk performing on stage before getting such an amount to support him?

Entertainmentgh.com wrote:

“I had to leave the hospital and come here to perform for you, and it’s all because of the love I have for you,” the wheelchair-bound legend told the crowd.

His gesture did not go unnoticed as several corporate firms and individuals presented a total amount of Ghc50, 000 to aid the veteran musician take care of his medical bills and related expenses.

ANFD International (suppliers of FAB ENERGY DRINKS), Ultimate Car Port, UniBank, Capital Express were some of the companies who donated to the singer.

At 72, Paapa Yankson, is unable to walk and uses the wheelchair for mobility, however, that setback did little to his stagecraft as he serenaded the crowd to some of his hit songs.

‘Bottles and Bands 2016’, which is an EIB initiative, was held at the Accra Polo Grounds November 19 and saw stellar performances from Kojo Antwi, EL, Akoo Nana and Efya.
