What? No way!


Just checked his myspace - he had a brain tumor. Poor guy. Saw him at the Country Show a few years back and he was excellent.

RIP.

RIP Mikey. The last time I heard him was on BBC Radio Scotland's Celtic Connections.

Mikey Dread as in 'Dread at the Controls'? Bloody hell.

Apparently my dad knew him quite well, when he lived in Jamaica. Shall phone him up and tell him

Sad news.

I refer to Editor as Mikey Dread, and thought he had died for a second.

Not another one. They're all dropping off. But the music lives on, and will never die. And his music is some reggae indeed.

Mrs psyche works with his daughter. Apparently he had the brain tumor for a few years, seemed to be in recovery then suddenly struck down.

Terrible shame, RIP
