Burna Boy thrills 210,000 attendees at Glastonbury festival
Damini Ogulu aka Burna Boy joined leading music stars across the globe to thrill over 200,000 attendees of the annual music festival, Glastonbury 2022.
Burna Boy left the attendees cheering for his performance that lasted 30 mins on Saturday, June 25, 2022.
In a viral video, Burna Boy performed ‘Last Last,’ the first single off his upcoming album, ‘Love Damini.’
The performance saw the tumultuous crowd singing along the hook of the song, ‘I need igbo and shayo.’
Other international acts that shared the same stage with Burna Boy include Billie Eilish, Lily Allen, Olivia Rodrigo, and Lorde.
Meanwhile, the Grammy-award winner has been invited for questioning by the Nigerian Police over a shooting incident that occurred at Cubana Nightclub on Victoria Island. Policemen attached to the singer opened fire in the club following a disagreement with other clubbers.
He jetted out of the country a few hours after the incident to perform at scheduled events in Spain and other parts of Europe.
The news of his passing was announced on Tuesday by a fellow actor, Tony Akposheri, in an Instagram post.
Akposheri expressed shock and sadness over the death of the actor, recalling their recent interactions.
He revealed that they had recently spent time together during the New Year, sharing memories and discussing future plans.
“Today, my heart is heavy. Davis Ofor, fondly known as Clarus from New Masquerade, is gone.
“We crossed into the New Year together, laughing, talking, sharing memories, and speaking hopefully about the days ahead,” he wrote.
“We spoke about life, about plans, about how far we had come. None of us knew that time was already counting differently for you.”
Describing the late actor as more than just a screen personality, Akposheri paid tribute to his character and impact.
“It is hard to believe that the voice I heard not long ago is now a memory. Hard to accept that someone so full of life can suddenly become a story we tell.”
He added, “Rest well, my friend. You came, you gave joy, you made your mark, and you will never be forgotten.”
Clarus gained prominence for his role in New Masquerade, one of Nigeria’s most popular television comedy shows, where his character became a household name.
Details surrounding the cause of his death were not immediately available.
Ofor rose to prominence for his role as Clarus in New Masquerade, a widely acclaimed Nigerian television comedy that aired on the Nigerian Television Authority and became a household favourite in the 1980s.
His portrayal of the comic character earned him national recognition and endeared him to audiences across the country, making Clarus one of the most memorable figures in Nigerian television history.
