In an unfortunate end to an energetic music concert, South African rapper and songwriter Costa Titch collapsed and died at the Ultra South Africa music festival in Johannesburg.
The 27-year-old was performing one of his songs when he collapsed on stage. Later, he regained stamina, stood up, and continued his performance, only to collapse again and die.
