Luciano Issues Statement: “I definitely don’t like the way my career is going”

luciano

The following is a statement from Jamaican based Reggae artist Luciano.

Greetings and salutations to all my fans and promoters in Europe, especially those in countries where I was scheduled to perform Germany, Austria, Switzerland, France, Holland & Italy.

I regret to announce that I am calling off this, the November-December Zion Awake European Tour 2016, owing to the fact that I am dissatisfied with the way that this tour was haphazardly put together. It’s very apparent that my representatives Miss Sonia Sterling and T-Boy of Bremen, Germany, who were mainly in charge of planning this tour have not done a good job. Over the years I have worked very hard to build my career and to establish myself as one of the icons of reggae music and I am very disgruntled by the way myself and my fans have been treated.

I definitely don’t like the way my career is going and if I don’t put a stop to this, these people are going to ruin my career and my fan base. I will not standby and stoop to this substandard misrepresentation of the Messenjah and the message. So please bear with me as I make this stance in defense of my rights and in order to manage the expectations of my fans.

I know that it is going to be a process for those fans who purchased advance tickets to receive refunds and the promoters to receive their returns on deposits where applicable. Promoters that were involved in this tour will receive first priority on future engagements as they are rescheduled.

In summary, for future bookings and business, please contact my manager Anthony Cargill – anthonygadd@yahoo.co.uk or anthony@lucianomessenjah.com

I deeply apologize for the inconvenience that this will cause, but please bear with me while I straighten out my life and my business affairs.

Thank you for your overstanding.

Yours Truly,

JahMessenjah Luciano
