Singing diva Jackie Chandiru needs no introduction when it comes to what she can do on the stage. From the time she made her breakthrough with Coca Cola girl group Blu*3, she has had a never-back-down attitude. And even when the group split to embark on solo careers, she soldiered on despite many telling her that she wouldn’t be up to the task. She proved them wrong dropping one hit single after the other, from Agassi, Don’t Call His Phone, Shamim, and Minti Agro.
But just when she was preparing her first album, she was informed by doctors that her existing heart problem had got worse. As a result, she spends most of her time indoors and rarely comes out unless it is completely necessary.
The singer, who has never been media shy now prefers her manager Julie Erusa to speak on her behalf.
Erusa explained that the "problem has been there for some time and it kept on growing".
She added that all preparations have been made to have the singer flown to India for a heart operation, but refused to reveal details of Jackie's itinerary or the hospital she would be going to.
“Family and friends raised the money, and we are sorted with that,” she said.
For the most part, Jackie is keeping a low profile due to her health concerns, but she recently participated at an unplugged session in a Kampala nightclub.
“The stage is where she finds peace, there is no way I could stop her. It where she feels at home and forgets all her worries,” Erusa said.
