Gospel musician, Yaw Sarpong, has revealed that he has spent advance payments of monies for shows that later got suspended.

According to the veteran singer, he is confused on what go do after some shows he was booked and paid for got cancelled.

The outbreak of coronavirus has led to a ban on all social gatherings in Ghana.

A number of concerts and other events have been cancelled or put on hold.

Yaw Sarpong and his Asomafo Group have taken monies to perform at funerals and other engagements.

“As I speak to you, about four people have made advance payments to me for their events so what am I supposed to do?”

“I have a very big funeral to perform at on May 9 so I am praying that things would have normalized by then so we can go ahead and perform”

“For those whose money I have taken in advance and the events didn’t come off, I don’t really know what I am going to do now. “It is a very difficult situation for me. I just hope everything comes back to normal so we can go about our businesses”, he told Graphic Showbiz.

Meanwhile artistes like Fameye, Kwesi Arthur, Stonebwoy and many others have said the outbreak has affected their bookings and expected revenues.
