Following his breach of contract over the weekend when he failed to show up for a performance at Deluxe Lounge in Mbarara, singer Alien Skin has agreed to pay back the money.
This followed a notice to sue by the event organisers through their lawyers.
“Be notified that Deluxe Grill and Lounge Mbarara intends to sue you for breach of contract after you failed to perform at its facility on October 28, 2023,” the notice reads partly.
But before the 14-day ultimatum could elapse, the Fangone Forest president returned the Shs5 million he was paid for the gig.
This news has been brought by events promoter Balaam Barugahare who also broke the first news of Alien Skin’s snubbing the show.
“I would like to thank Mr Kibanda Alien Skin, President Fagone Forest for fully refunding the Bwezibwera Event Local Organizing Committee,” Balaam said.
“This is a Professional conduct. I urge other artistes to emulate this gesture by always refunding Organizers whenever they fail to appear. It’s unfortunate you failed to Perform & yet you had been paid in full. However, with your explanation, we clearly understand the bigger consideration you got from a well-known selfish source. As a music & events promoter, I promise to do more business with you in future. I caution you to be careful with the self-seekers!!!!” Balaam tweeted Wednesday.
