What a sad way
to end the day. We are still in shock about the news reaching us that Nigerian
singer Goldie Harvey is dead. Details of her death are still
sketchy but media reports say she passed on last night at Reddington Hospital,
Victoria Island, Lagos in the arms of her close friend, Denrele.
Goldie had just
returned to Nigeria from the U.S where she attended the Grammy Awards with her
record label, Kennis Music boss, Kenny Ogungbe. Kenny
St. Best, an artiste also under Kennis Music confirmed the news.
She said “It’s
true. I still can’t believe it. I’m still in shock.”
Her death is so
sad and sudden and comes as a deep shock to me.
Statement from the CEO of Kennis
Music, Kenny Ogungbe pictured above with the late singer
“With a deep sense of loss, we
announce the shocking death of our darling music star, Goldie Harvey. Goldie,
31, died on Thursday after she complained of a severe headache shortly after
her arrival from the United States where she went to witness the Grammy Award.
She was rushed from her Park View, Ikoyi, Lagos residence to her official
hospital, Reddington, Victoria Island, Lagos, where doctors pronounced her dead
on arrival at exactly 7:30pm in the evening.
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. She is survived by her
father, step- mother, brothers and sisters. We deeply sympathise with her
family and fans all over the world and very grateful to all and sundry,
especially, the vibrant Nigerian media for their concern and prompt reportage.
We shall keep everybody informed as events unfold as we are devastated by the
sudden loss.”
