Controversial musician Alien Skin, the CEO of Fangone Forest, has repeatedly hinted at his intention to retire from music in December.
In a recent interview on Galaxy TV, he reiterated his plans to retire, but also revealed that he plans to remain in the spotlight by forming a political party called the Fangone Unity Platform (FUP).
"I'm going to stop doing music in December," he said. "I've done everything, it's time for me to pave the way for young artists. I don't want to be a dictator like other musicians. Don’t be surprised to see my political party called Fangone Unity Platform,” he announced.
Alien Skin went on to explain that he wants to leave music while he is still at the top of his game. He has been a successful musician for over a decade, and he has no interest in staying on the scene past his prime.
"I'm not retiring because I'm tired of music," he said. "I'm retiring because I want to go out on a high. I want to be remembered as one of the greatest Ugandan musicians of all time."
Alien Skin's decision to retire from music is sure to come as a blow to his fans, but his decision to form a political party is even more surprising. The musician has never been publicly involved in politics before, and it is unclear what his political agenda will be.
However, Alien Skin has a history of being outspoken and controversial. He is known for his flamboyant personality and his willingness to speak his mind. It is possible that he will use his political platform to address some of the social and political issues that are important to him.
