He was held in Synapse Services Centre, an Abuja rehabilitation hospice.
In October, he was released from rehab and had his first stage performance at the annual Felabration festival in Lagos.
Speaking to Daily Post in October he addressed the issue of his addiction saying:
“For me, it was an opportunity to dry out. They say recovering addicts return from rehab dry, but, somehow, after a month or a year they go back to their old habit but I must say I have been vilified. I have heard people say all sorts of things about me, but I need people to understand that stress can make anyone do anything. It is true that I have an addiction, but I trust that I will be fine.
“Growing up, I never tasted alcohol or smoke but you know, it is actually part of the lifestyle of a performing musician. You must be high. But now, I am working on an alternative form of inspiration. And I am not the only one. In many genres of music, from reggae to rock, one needs to be high to play some rock songs.”
Fashek first shot to fame in 1988 off his album Prisoner Of Conscience, which included the career making hit, Send Down the Rain.
At the peak of his career, he was likened to legendary Jamaican reggae star Bob Marley.
