Mr Vegas offers Christmas gift to the world

Internationally renowned dancehall star, Mr Vegas, recently released a new Christmas single titled Last Christmas.

Originally sung by British pop star George Michael in 1984, Mr Vegas decided to do a remake of his favourite Christmas song and give it a "nice dancehall flavour".

The song, which debuted at midnight on Thursday, December 3, is accompanied by a heart-warming animated video.

"This is my Christmas gift to my fans across the world. I know everyone is going through rough times because of COVID-19 but we cannot let that stop us from having a merry Christmas," he said. Growing up in Jamaica, Christmas was always a very special time of the year for Mr Vegas.

"Christmas was something that we looked forward to because we knew that no matter how hard things were, Christmas was a time of happiness, togetherness and fun. I still have a lot of fond memories of those days. The joy of Christmas is something that you don't want to forget, and I still look forward to Christmas every year," he said.

Mr Vegas is currently in Jamaica promoting the single. He is scheduled to leave the island shortly before Christmas for a series of shows in the US.

While he is excited about getting back on stage after the unexpected COVID-19 hiatus, he and his team have worked diligently with the promoters to ensure every precaution is taken to ensure the necessary guidelines are followed.

"We want to enjoy ourselves this Christmas; however, the virus is real, and we have to be responsible and play our part in minimising the spread of the virus," said Mr Vegas.
