Ebola forces Luciano to cancel Malawi show

Ebola outbreak in West Africa has cost Malawi the first ever show of the Jamaican reggae artist Luciano.

According to The Jamaica Observer, Luciano has been forced to cancel plans to travel to Africa for his upcoming tour due to warnings from Health Minister Dr Fenton Ferguson that entertainers should avoid to travel to Ebola affected countries of West Africa.

It is reported that the artist changed his plans due to his own research on the highly contagious and deadly disease.

Luciano was expected to leave the Island on Saturday for performance in Malawi, South Africa, Ghana and Zimbabwe.

He was supposed to arrive in Malawi on October 15, four days before his concert in Malawi’s capital at Lilongwe Golf Club.

Organisers of the Malawi show said they were yet to get official communication from the Jah Messenger’s camp.

Event coordinator Mphatso Chaluluka said they are looking for “options.”
