What a sad news for Nigeria and Africa as a whole on a valentines day. Goldie Harvey was fine, just headache, probably she did not know she was going to say her last goodbyes yesterday night.
Here is an official statement released by the late Singer's label, kennis Music:
On behalf of Kennis Music, I’m sad to officially confirm the shocking and untimely passage of Nigeria’s pop star, Goldie Harvey. 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 at her Park View residence shortly after
her arrival from the United States where she went to witness the Grammy
Award. She was rushed to her official hospital, Reddington, Victoria
Island, Lagos, where doctors pronounced her dead on arrival.
We consider this period a gloomy moment
for us and the entire Nigerian music industry in view of the
circumstance Goldie passed away, the abundance of talent she has
exhibited in her 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
sympathize 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 still devastated by the sudden loss.”
Meanwhile, the remains of Goldie, who
hails from Ekiti State has been deposited in the mortuary of the Lagos
University Teaching Hospital, Ikeja, Lagos. Goldie represented Nigeria
at the Big Brother Star Game in 2012. Her latest effort, she described
as three nawti singles from her forthcoming African Invasion album are
“Skibo”. “Miliki” and ” Got To Have It,” are presently enjoying heavy
rotations on radio and TV stations across the continent. Burial
arrangements will be announced by the family. May her soul rest in
peace.
Adieu Goldie!!!!
