Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>Musician Alick Macheso is set to release his 12th album on 10 June, which is his 54th birthday.<\/p>\n

Speaking to H-Metro on Wednesday, Macheso said he wants to celebrate his birthday with his fans who have been waiting for four years for a new album. He said:<\/p>\n

We have made the decision. The fans have been waiting for four years now.<\/p>\n

The album will be out on June 10, which is my birthday.<\/p>\n

It is always important to celebrate the gift of life and I want to celebrate with the album.<\/p>\n

Macheso\u2019s manager Tich Makahamadze said they have started working on the logistics to ensure a successful event. Said Makahamadze:<\/p>\n

The album is coming out on June 10 on his birthday. Like what mudhara (the boss) has said, we have made a decision.<\/p>\n

Obviously, the wish is to have a big event where he would be able to meet fans since it coincides with his birthday.<\/p>\n

But, we are not going to change even if new COVID-19 measures are to come up restricting gatherings. That then means we will have to launch it virtually.<\/p>\n

Macheso has reunited with Noel Nyazanda and Zakaria Zacharia for the first time in 12 years as they worked together on the yet-to-be-named album.<\/p>\n

The Orchestra Mberikwazvo leader has been playing snippets during his live shows with the duo.<\/p>\n
