In a turn of events that has left many fans and followers taken aback, the Australian entertainer Kamahl has found himself in the midst of a legal quandary.
At 89 years of age, Kamahl is facing charges of stalking, which are serious in nature and have significant implications.
The charges stem from a series of text messages sent by Kamahl to a 38-year-old woman to whom he had reportedly loaned money.
NSW Police have confirmed that an investigation was initiated following the receipt of the messages by the woman, which led to the issuance of a court attendance notice for stalking or intimidating with intent to cause fear or physical harm.
Kamahl, whose voice has charmed audiences for decades with singles like 'Sounds of Goodbye' and 'The Elephant Song,' is scheduled to appear in Sutherland Court in Sydney on 5 June.
This court date marks a stark contrast to the heights of his career, which saw the Malaysian-born Australian singer rise to stardom and become a household name.
Beyond his musical achievements, Kamahl has been a familiar face on television, starring in advertisements for Dilmah tea and vanilla Coke and as a regular on the variety show Hey Hey It’s Saturday!
However, the past few years have not been without personal challenges for Kamahl.
In 2021, he faced the personal tragedy of separating from his wife, Sahodra, an event that undoubtedly had a profound impact on his life.
Kamahl said in a previous interview that he was ‘praying’ for a reconciliation between him and his ex-wife, blaming himself for the separation.
Hey Hey It’s Saturday also encountered criticism in 2021 when old clips from the show resurfaced online.
These clips often showed them making fun of Kamahl when he appeared on the show.
In a letter, Kamahl asked the host, Daryl Somers, if they would treat other Australian artists like they treated him.
It’s understood that Kamahl has been contacted to comment on the court proceedings, but at the time of writing, the singer has not made a public statement.
