Hugh Masekela has sustained a shoulder injury and has been booked off until August.
“Hugh fell and dislocated his right shoulder on April 7 whilst in Morocco, and the fall exacerbated an old injury that Hugh sustained in 1993,” his management team said.
They also confirmed that due to scheduled surgery, and recovery period to follow, Masekela’s upcoming performances will be cancelled. This includes Kaya FM & Bassline Live Present show at the Lyric Theatre on June 11.
Masekela is due to undergo a minor operation on Monday to repair tendon and ligament damage.
“After the operation the doctor has insisted that Hugh take an eight-week hiatus from all activity, to allow the shoulder to fully recover. This means no rehearsals or performances, no long-distance travel, no carrying or lifting of any kind, and regular, weekly physiotherapy,” his team said.
Masekela is expected to return to the stage after Tuesday, August 1.
“Hugh is disappointed to let his fans down, but his health is a top priority.”
“We fully support Bra Hugh in his decision to put his health first and wish him a speedy recovery. We look forward to hosting him on our stage soon,” his team added.
