Stevie Wonder plans to continue.
The 70-year-old music icon recently opened up for an interview with Oprah Winfrey, where he reveals that he plans to move permanently to Ghana, a country in West Africa.
“I want to see this nation smile again and I want to see it before I leave … to move to Ghana,” the singer said in a clip published by Punch Newspapers. “Because I’m going to do it.”
When asked by Winfrey if he intends to move permanently, Wonder replies, “I am.”

“I do not want to see children of my children’s children say, ‘Oh, please hold me, please respect me, please know that I am important, appreciate me,'” he explained.

According to the Orlando Sentinel, he said he felt “there is more of a sense of community”.
Wonder was born in Michigan in 1950 and grew up to be a Motown music star and pioneer, although he was blind.
