The Star sent out breaking news signals on their Twitter and SMS platforms about the death of the veteran musician.
They later deleted the misleading tweet after Kamaru denied reports that he had passed on.

Kenyans who had already noted the earlier message called out the media organisation to apologise and offer a clarification.
