FACE OFF promoters have confirmed the show will proceed despite news of Sir Clarence “Oungku” Edwards’ ongoing health concerns affecting several Carnival acts.

Promoters said they received news of Sir Oungku’s health issues on Wednesday afternoon and that impacted advertised performances by Burning Flames, Red Hot Flames and FACE OFF.

They said Sir Oungku’s health and wellbeing remain their top priority and they are wishing him a full and speedy recovery.

“To everyone asking about FACE OFF, rest assured, the show goes on,” a statement read.

Tian Winter has now taken up the challenge to face Dominica’s Triple K on stage and will be joined by some of Antigua’s biggest musical acts to strengthen Team Antigua and pay tribute to Sir Oungku.

“I, Tian Winter, will proudly step onto the stage and accept the challenge to battle Dominica’s finest, Triple K,” the statement continued.

Promoters are urging the public to rally together and make the event a night to remember.
