Mirage was victim of something unlogical just like many artists over the years, maybe some of those who were in place saw another potential star coming to fight them so azuaki masolo surement,i remember at some point celezino even used to banter him calling him "musicien ya 1664 na 8'6"(if it does not exist in anglophone countries its beers) and mirage who used to be the clean guy who despite growing "in the ghetto" went to nice profile schools and "did not act like a musician" became somebody who would according to some friends sometimes talk alone,drink a lot and so on
i think he should have accepted the skol offer,they'd have helped him get a visa back surely,bill was back to europe not long after returning
like jv said mirage is a bit strange in the sense that he had almost everything to be a longterm big name,but he thinks like a session artist or an artist of the styles of lokua,jupiter and co,not too popular, but " pure artists",celebrity aint his problem at all he seems to appreciate glimpses of it but not live the thing on daily basis like others i think thats what scared him for becoming like oncle rece wanted the plan b to ferre fally departure
