One of Uganda's most promising stars, 15-year old Alex Sempija, passed away Monday night following a bicycle accident. 

He was part of the group Triplets Foundation commonly known as Ghetto Kids. The group starred in music videos that have become YouTube hits around the world. 

Alex was riding with Patricia Nabakoosa, another member of the band, when they fell into a trench, according to the band's manager.

Alex was fatally injured but Patricia is recovering in a hospital in Kampala. 

The BBC featured the group in a story last year. 

Alex spoke about how earning money from performing had allowed him to move his family to a better home and put him through school.
