President of Kennis Music, Keke Ogungbe, in a statement last night has
confirmed the death of Goldie. The message read “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.” Meanwhile, the remains of Goldie who hails from Ekiti State has
been deposited at 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,” 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…..KD Blog.
