| I-Octane wearing an arm brace after hurting his shoulder |
Not even an excruciatingly painful, dislocated shoulder could dampen the potency of I-Octane’s performance while on his ‘My Journey’ tour across Europe. I-Octane during his performance at Reggae Geel in Belgium dislocated his shoulder during a performance where he was said to exuberantly jumped from the stage, missing his target and fell.

because disappointing his fans was not an option. Determine to perform his other shows at Reggae Jam in Germany and Reggae Sundance in the Netherlands where he shared stage with some of the biggest names in reggae such as Big Youth, Earl Sixteen, Luciano, Beenie Man, Tarrus Riley, Shaggy, Tanya Stephens, Busy Signal and Romaine Virgo, I-Octane gave his best performance to a receptive and appreciative crowd.

A dislocated shoulder could not stop him from fulfilling his commitment to fans and his work. His tour has ended but he continues along his path full-filling his other obligations in the coming days that include performances in St. Maarten, Canada, Belize and the United States.
