Unfortunately, this might have been a step forward on his long-term throat pain but the end of his music career.
While abroad, it is alleged the Kenyan musician shot his last music video that is set for release anytime soon, after which, he drops the mic.

Speaking to TUKO, Jimmy shared exclusive information articulating:
The song that I shot in India is the last one, but I will announce future plans once the video is out.
For the time being, he is actively advocating for proper and dignified healthcare to the Kenyan people.
Singer Jimmy Gait has come out to thank those who supported him during the difficult time he was experiencing in his life.
The musician had flown to India barely a month ago when he surprised his fans by telling them he was battling a disease and was afraid it might have been cancer.
Cancer
After tests and diagnoses from the doctors however, the gospel star was found to be suffering only from hyperacidity contrary to the rumours that were going around that he had throat cancer.
Jimmy took to social media channels to thank all those who supported him during this time and was greatfull.
“To everyone who has put a smile on my face during this time, may God send you angels to do the same for you. I’m free from pain and in a few days I will be back home! I cant wait to see you my people!” he posted.
Muhadhara hitmaker, Jimmy Gait has hit the headlines after strangely going under for a while before resurfacing with unknown details of a sickness he has been battling all along.
Last week, he traveled to India to seek further treatment after misdiagnosis by local doctors. The gospel singer was repeatedly advised to undergo throat surgery locally.
Through his You Tube channel, Jimmy Gait is giving family, friends and fans updates on his treatment and well being.
Misdiagnosis
He opens up about a time he contacted doctors in Nairobi about his problem, who kept giving him medication but the problem still persisted.
So he eventually came across an ENT doctor who advised him to get a surgery for his throat but the gospel artist failed to believe, until a different doctor told him the same.

However:
These doctors were so transactional. They quoted for me figures that were so high. It was not about helping me, but how much money they would get.
Therefore, basing on this, he became very skeptical and decided to seek another doctor’s opinion, but this time, from the International scope.
Re-diagnosis
And through an agency that facilitated his travel to India, the hospital he is currently in, is where the agency brought him into and he believes it so far is the best he could ever get.
But that’s just tip of the iceberg. What was most shocking for him is when the doctor in India told him:
Listen, James, the operation that was to be done on you, would have made you never sing again. Because your voice would have permanently changed. And to me that was very very shocking, I could not believe it.

What is most disappointing is fact that even after repeatedly asking local doctors if he would be able to sing after the surgery, they kept telling him YES. Only to turn out as a deceptive measure.
So the doctor in India advised they should run him through a myriad of tests and scans to be able to determine the root cause of his problem. Which turned out successful.
All these are receipts of the bills I paid and I kept wondering why they are doing so many tests on me. But the doctor told me, “Look, here we don’t trade or recommend any treatment until we have seriously tested a patient”.
Jimmy Gait closes up by sharing the test results with the public. But first, he is grateful the surgery was ruled out.
Revelation
In a video clip that features his doctor in India, a different diagnosis came up.
I found that the throat problem appeared like it was predominant but because of increased acid production inside the stomach and into the complains in the throat and in his voice also. So, we found the infection, we treated it and we have given him treatment, and luckily he’s doing very well with the treatment. This would be my advice to doctors all across: If the patient is not improving, maybe once or twice, then move according to the clinical judgement and do perform other tests that are required.
However, as he concludes, the Kenyan singer hopes to return back home but reveals he will have to stay in India probably 6 weeks or so, for review purposes.
The shocking thing is that first the Kenyan doctors misdiagnosed me and if they did a surgery on me, the problem would now have graduated into stomach cancer….Aargh! Hiyo story just shocked me. That a doctor would rather make money from me, than give me proper treatment.

All in all, he remains grateful for the unending prayers from Kenyans because God turned his story around. through his fans’ prayers.
But he promises to keep updating Kenyans on the cause of his problem and how it resulted into all these, in case someone needs to overcome it too.
