Well-wish­es con­tin­ue to pour in fol­low­ing the an­nounce­ment by for­mer chut­ney so­ca monarch Ken­neth Sal­ick of his poor health, as he bat­tles kid­ney fail­ure.

The rev­e­la­tion came on Thurs­day via a so­cial me­dia post made by Sal­ick, where he sought to ad­dress his sud­den re­tire­ment from the stage.

The 63-year-old lo­cal singer, known for his chut­ney hit Rad­i­ca Why You Leave and Go, ex­plained that it was not his choice to stop per­form­ing, but rather a ne­ces­si­ty.
