Very sad news, singer Goldie is dead

I'm in shock. Singer Goldie has passed on. Goldie died last night at Reddington Hospital in Victoria Island. Goldie just came back from the US yesterday, and was so full of life. The cause of Goldie's death is still not certain, but multiple sources at the hospital confirmed that she slumped shortly after she returned from Los Angeles where she attended the just concluded Grammy Awards and was rushed to the hospital where she was pronounced dead few mins later.

Her corpse has been deposited at the morgue in Ikeja General Hospital. This was around 2am this morning. Her music label boss, Kenny, D1, ID Ogungbe, Denrele, Karen, Uti and Yvonne ‘Vixen’ Ekwere were all present at the scene.

We consider this period a gloomy moment for us and the entire Nigerian music industry in view of the circumstance in which she passed away; the abundance of talent she exhibited in her short but eventful music career and the various opportunities her trip to the United States of America would have availed her.
