Monday, November 24, 2025 - In a deeply emotional YouTube video shared on Sunday, November 23rd, 2025, Sky Victor, daughter of late gospel singer Betty Bayo, opened up about the heartbreaking final days of her mother’s life.
Sky recounted how everything changed on a Saturday, just
after doctors confirmed that Betty was battling blood cancer (acute myeloid leukaemia, AML).
“The day before, the doctors had finally told her the real
condition she had, and they explained clearly that it was leukaemia,” Sky
recalled.
The diagnosis, she said, was delivered directly and left her
mother visibly shaken.
According to Sky, the shock of hearing the news triggered a
stroke almost immediately.
She described how her mother’s facial muscles were affected,
with one side of her mouth pulling to the side, a clear sign that something
serious had happened.
“The stroke affected her face, and one side of her mouth
started to pull to the side,” she explained.
She emphasised that all of this - from the diagnosis to the
stroke - unfolded within that Saturday.
Betty Bayo, best known for her gospel hit 11th
Hour, passed away on Monday, November 10th, 2025, after
battling acute leukaemia and excessive bleeding.
She was first admitted to AAR Hospital on Kiambu Road before
being transferred to Kenyatta National Hospital, where she succumbed at 1:03
pm.
Bayo was diagnosed with AML
at stage four, the point of bone marrow failure.
“Her bone marrow had stopped
producing platelets, and even the few that were produced were being consumed by
her body in an autoimmune response.”
“At that stage, her body had
effectively started feeding on itself,” a doctor revealed.
Her burial took place on Thursday, November 20th,
2025.
