R.i.P Goldie Harvey [oct 22 1982 -feb 14 2013]

When i heard about the death of singer Goldie lastnight (real name Susan Oluwabimpe Harvey )i was in shock because she just released a new song,was about to start up a reality show with her best friend Denrele and was so full of life but since  all efforts to find out the cause of death prooved futile,i decided to wait untill i got detailed report as to how she died. (she deserves that much)

Goldie who few days ago went with her record label boss Kenny Ogungbe to America to cover the grammy awards,arrived back in Nigeria just yesterday and according to her best friend Denrele was so full of life until something went terribly wrong with her,she complained of severe headache and so was rushed to Reddington hospital on the island but was later pronounced dead after  short while. Her remains have been deposited in the mogue at the Ikeja general hospital. Aside from her record label management,celebrity friends of hers like Karen,Uti and Yvonne Ekwere were present.

Here is the official statement from her Label record managemet:


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.”
.....Black valentine.....Rest well Goldie.
