Sad news reaching us indicates that renowned songwriter Saxess busulwa is dead.

According to a close source, Saxess passed away on Tuesday morning following a failed operation.

The songwriter has earlier in July this year undergone a successful operation at Rubaga Hospital, after which he showed signs that he was to recover.

The source told this website that Saxess’ illness that led to his death, is from an accident he was involved in about 10 years ago.

The fallen songwriter is said to have had a relapse from the operation back then, causing the recent complications that led to his death.

Saxess wrote a number of hit songs including “Butterfly” by nameless, “Eddiba” by Juliana Kanyomozi, “Gold Digger” by Jackie Chandiru, “Fire Tonight” by Rema Namakula, “Awo” by Leila Kayondo and “Bwoba Sexy” by Grace Nakimera among others.

May his soul rest in peace.
