In a TikTok video, the actor was spotted with the other band members on the Adomi Bridge, located in Atimpoku in the Eastern Region of Ghana.
Agya Koo announced the sudden death of his bandmate Collins Manu, popularly known as Killa Bobo or Soldier Man.
He shared that his late colleague had been strong and in good health and was supposed to be part of the Tetemofra band's contingent, which travelled to Adonkwanta, Worawora, for a musical show on Friday, May 9, 2025.
The veteran Kumawood actor said he and the other band members left the deceased behind for their trip and were later informed about his unfortunate demise when they arrived at their destination on Saturday, May 10, 2025.

He stated that he and his band members would return to Kumasi, Ashanti Region, and would notify Ghanaians about his late bandmate's funeral arrangements.
In the caption of the video, the legendary comic actor wrote:
"Yesterday's performance was emotional as we received the sad news of our brother's passing. It was a tough day, and we performed with heavy hearts after learning of our brother's passing. Keep sticking with us for more updates. We're still processing our grief. 😭😭😭😭 REST IN PEACE SOLDIER."
