The third edition of the Shaggy & Friends concert will not take place. Shaggy's charity event, held at the start of each year in aid of the Bustamante Hospital for Children in Kingston, has been put back to next year. Shaggy cited a lack of time and preparation for the show, being the recent father of twins. So Mr Boombastic has arranged to meet in 2012 for a big concert, talking of a more modern format.
Over the Christmas holidays, Shaggy had visited sick children in Kingston hospitals, accompanied by Khago, QQ and G-Whizz.
Let us recall that the first edition in 2009 brought together Buju Banton, Macy Gray, Sean Paul, Tony Rebel, Sean Kingston, Tarrus Riley, Luciano, Freddie McGregor, Daville, Elephant Man and Marcia Griffiths (news of 16/01/2009.
The second edition, in 2010, featured Beenie Man, Ali Campbell, Toots Hibbert, Sanchez, Busy Signal, Baby Cham, Half Pint, Tanya Stephens, Michael Rose, Queen Ifrica, Ce'Cile and Papa San (news 29/10/2009).
