Tanzanian Bongo star Diamond Platnumz is currently admitted at the hospital in Arusha where he is  receiving treatment after experiencing a high fever.

The musician shared the news with his fans on social media. He also posted a video from his hospital bed. The video showed him laying on the bed with an intravenous drip, and a doctor by his side.

He requested his fans to continue sending their prayers, hoping for increased strength as he recuperated. He expressed a desire to bounce back quickly and be in good health to perform at his much-anticipated Wasafi Festival show at the Eden Garden in Arusha. 

"My day today started very badly in Arusha, with a high fever that led to temporary hospitalization. I thank God. I am doing well now, and I continue to gain strength. Do not stop praying for me. May I have more strength and do well on the Wasafi Festival Show," he wrote.

Last year Diamond Platnumz spent the entire Christmas in a hospital bed.

The internationally acclaimed Bongo star posted photos of him in hospital on his Instagram page, with nurses by his side fixing a drip.

He appeared to be in pain and deep thought in one of the photos which he captioned "Bad Christmas This Year."

Diamond did not, however, disclose to his fans the cause of his illness.
