“The scripture in Psalm 136:1 says: ‘Give thanks unto the Lord, for He is good; for His mercy endureth forever.’ I have been a successful musician and one of the leading artists for 68 years now, taking my music to the four corners of the world. Despite facing health challenges and undergoing several surgical operations, God has granted me victory over them all.
“I thank God for remaining relevant in my music career and for allowing me to balance my musical journey with my devotion to His work. Honestly, I have experienced it all, and I cannot thank God enough for the special and unique grace upon my life and career.
“My sole aim now is to express my gratitude to God and stay close to Him until the end. I truly feel fulfilled. I invite all my friends, fans, and well-wishers to join me in appreciating God as I turn 83 and celebrate 68 years as a successful, world-acclaimed musician,” he added.
