Afua Asantewaa Owusu Aduonum, a Ghanaian journalist and event organizer, has revealed that she was hospitalized after attempting to break the Guinness World Record for the longest individual singing marathon.
Afua Asantewaa, who began her quest to break the sing-a-thon record on Christmas Eve, finished after 126 hours and 52 minutes on Friday, December 29, 2023. She is awaiting verification from Guinness World Record judges.
She added that she is in a pleasant facility receiving therapy to repair her system after going days without sleeping.

“I’m in a very comfortable hospital ward to tune my system back to how it was before because I denied myself sleep for five days,” Afua Asantewaa told UTV’s United Showbiz on December 30, 2023.
Her medical team had earlier cited ill health, prompting her to conclude the sing-a-thon on Friday morning instead of Friday noon, December 29, 2023, as initially planned.
“But as a medical team, her health is our top priority now, and we need to ensure she’s okay. We would have loved her to go until noon, but as a medical team, we need to stop it and protect Afua as much as possible. Fatigue has set in, and we’ll now work on getting her well and ready to bounce back and address everyone again,” Dr. Grace Buckman, who led Afua Asantewaa’s medical team, stated.
