Legendary Ghanaian gospel musician and founder of the Asomafo gospel group, Yaw Sarpong, has died.
He passed away on 20th January 2026 in Kumasi.
The news of his passing was confirmed by Nana Poku Ashis, his manager, to Nydjlive.com.
Further details surrounding his death are yet to be officially disclosed.
His death comes barely a month after the passing of Maame Tiwa, a key pillar of Yaw Sarpong’s Asomafo music group, a loss that deeply affected the gospel music fraternity.
Yaw Sarpong had for some years been battling ill health, occasionally stepping back from public performances as he focused on treatment and recovery.
In 2025, Yaw Sarpong was honoured with the Lifetime Achievement award at the Telecel Ghana Music Awards.
