Rickman To Retire From Music In 2028: “Ten Years of Rickman” Will Be His First and Last Concert

Rickman has revealed plans to retire from music in 2028, marking the end of a passionate decade-long journey with a single grand event titled “Ten Years of Rickman”, his first and last official concert.

In an intimate and reflective interview with BBS TV, the artist opened up about his evolving relationship with music, his reasons for slowing down, and what lies ahead beyond the spotlight.

Rickman, born Derrick Ddungu, burst onto the Ugandan music scene in 2018 with his breakout hit “Bango”, a song that immediately captured attention and signaled the arrival of a unique voice.

Unlike many of his peers who chase constant chart-toppers, Rickman has carved out a different path—one defined by intention rather than intensity.

“I have music, but I’m not in a rush. Releasing songs back to back doesn’t hit you. Every person has their own time. The only artists who consistently had hit songs with every release were Radio & Weasel,” he shared.

Now, Rickman says his approach to music is rooted in love for the craft rather than a desire for fame or fortune.

“At this time, I’m just doing music because I have to, but not for survival or looking for money. When I released ‘Ebango,’ I was just excited. I had just started music and enjoyed it so much. Now I just release music to be around. In the future, they will listen to and appreciate my music.”
