Radio, famous for songs such as Heart Attack, Sweet Lady and Can’t Let You Go, was revered for his “heartwarming” and “lovely” voice by fans local and global alike.
Alongside Weasel, he made several collaborations with several musicians.
On Wednesday, Case Hospital said it had received sh30m from President Yoweri Museveni towards Radio’s hospital bills.
“We thank you [President Museveni] so very much for the generous deed of contributing to hospital bills for Ugandan music vocallist Moses Ssekibogo alias Moze Radio,” a statement by the health facility said.

When the news of Radio’s death began to spread early Thursday, a large curious and shocked crowd gathered outside Case Hospital as Police tried to keep them at bay.
Many were seen with blood-shot eyes from incessant wailing.
“My Radio is gone! I cannot believe this,” cried a one Julius, who, like many others, stood outside the health facility. “I loved this guy so much. I will miss him so dearly.”
Weasel appeared at Case Hospital wearing a dark hooded jacket. Several other musicians, family and close friends also made their way to the hospital as the mood-dampening news spread.
Inside, Barugahare told reporters that Radio’s condition had “connected” his fiancees. He also particularly consoled Weasel by telling him to “be strong” in “this difficult” moment.
In conjuction with the Goodlyfe, Pastor Wilson Bugembe of Light the World Church in Nansana had dedicated a special service this Sunday for Radio.
