However‚ a statement was released saying that the event was postponed as Hugh would need time to recuperate after his surgery.
The musician also underwent a medical procedure to repair tendon and ligament damage in his shoulder earlier this year.
This saw him cancel all shows and public appearances for a two month period to undergo the procedure and recover.
The veteran musician told TshisaLIVE in July that even though he’s been advised to slow down‚ he is still involved in a lot of projects that are heritage driven.
“I haven’t done too badly in life so I have the luxury of choosing what I want do. I am more spread out. I am getting into television and cinema‚ but it is all heritage driven. I am completely heritage captured‚” he said.
Hugh also recently took up the opportunity to direct a theatre play called Gone Native – The Life and Times of Regina Brooks and he told TshisaLIVE all about it.
