That's because he had no big hits this year. Did Zan had any performances?? Hardly!!! When a Promoter books the band, they Book Machel Montano HD... With that package is Machel and Band. During that stage, Xtatik Ltd gives the promoter a package deal that includes all support acts including Patrice, Nappy, Zan, Umi and Dancers. It's then up to the promoter to decide if he wants the entire package or just the initial portion. This year, the promoters negotiated for only the hit makers in the band plus dancers, which obviously left out Umi and Zan (2010 hits). No current hits- No tour..... Umi had an issue with that and decided that he wanted to continue on his own.... There's more to this story but I don't feel like volunteering all that info....
