The 41-year-old artist, whose real name is Michael Benjamin, allegedly suffered a heart attack during a show Saturday, shocking fans who saw him fall off the stage. He was located at Accor Arena with 20,000 capacity in eastern Paris as host to Haitian Carimi Group.
It “passed away after a stage crisis and despite emergency service efforts, it failed,” the Twitter concert organisers announced.
Social media videos show him performing, then unexpectedly as he ran from the end of the scene, 41-year-old goes down to the ground. Music stopped, and doctors were called to the stage.
Mikaben, son of the famous singer Lionel Benjamin, was born in Haitian capital, Port-au-Prince, in 1981 and was known on the local music scene as singer, writer and producer. He appeared in some Carimi hits, including Baby I Missed You and Fanm as Move.
His wife Vanessa, who is pregnant, posted a message thanking people for her prayers but seeking privacy.
I'm not able to speak. I lost half of me and I don't have words”, she wrote. /abcnews.al/
