Renown Gospel Artist Paid Last Respects

An author once said “Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal.”

The past week gospel family in East Africa was deeply shaken with the sadden  loss of a celebrated  gospel artist  Mutalya Elvis aka Mac Elvis.  The Ugandan urban gospel singer is believed to have met his death when he drowned in a swimming pool while on holiday in Tanzania.

Mac Elvis traveled  to Tanzania on a ministry together with 5 other gospel musicians from Uganda on 1st October 2013. While on the trip whose purpose was to record a song Elvis decided to go for swimming alone and that’s  where he unfortunately met his sadden death.

Elvis was a born again Christian who put  in his bid for royalty as an urban gospel prince with his 2011 release, “Church Boy”, an album full of mid-tempo jams and occasional club rockers.
