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.

[fela fan]

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
