The family of late veteran actor, AB Crentsil, has slated August 13, 2022, for his one-week observation.

The event will be held at at the Bethel Methodist Society, Community 8 in Tema. AB Crentsil died on July 13, 2022, at the Bank Hospital, Accra.

The rests are; highlife star Pat Thomas, Naa Amanua of Wulomei fame, Asabea Cropper who played with AB Crentsil in the Tema-based Sweet Talks Band and Director of Communications and Special Projects, Ahuma Bosco Ocansey.

They assured the family of the unflinching support of the Union to ensure the late Highlife icon is given a befitting burial.

Speaking on behalf of the delegation, Bessa Simons said, "as we all know, we have lost one of our legends who was also a former Vice President of MUSIGA and a founding member of AMWEF."

"He was also very supportive of the work of the union and played a great role in establishing the fund to support ageing and needy musicians. We will miss him greatly," he added.

The late AB Crentsil is known for several hit songs such as Devil, Atia, Juliana, I Go Pay You Tomorrow, Papa Shamo, Ayen among other songs.

AB Crentsil, born in 1943, in Prestea in the Western Region was one of the “big three” of Ghanaian musicians from the West.
