“Guess who is home from rehab?

David Major, remember him? just came out of rehab today na hata amenona

There is a testimony because this man right here is not the man I last saw going away to rehab. God has surely changed Him. Nie reke gwire I was a mûmaku before. 🤦🏿‍♂️

Against all and every possible odd, from kin and friends, he has a song in his heart of what the Lord has taken him through. I have faith that He who began a good work in him is faithful to complete it. This is what my God can do!!!” shared Alvan Love.

In 2018, the singer had also put out a post on Facebook saying he was battling seizures and depression.

In November 2020, the musician cum audio engineer had been spotted on the streets of Mirema drive in Roysambu, having been homeless and going through a rough patch in his life.

Through his fellow TPF contestant, Alvan Love, Kenyans came through for David Major by contributing funds to help him seek medication and eventually rehabilitation. To show his gratitude David put out these words:

"Without these close friends of mine, I wouldn't be looking as decent as I am looking right now. I am out of the hospital. I am now headed to rehab and it looks amazing. Thanks for having my back, thanks for the prayers. It's been a tough year but y 'all came through and I love you guys."
