| Nigerian pop singer: Goldie Harvey |
Popular Nigerian singer, Susan Oluwabimpe Filani Harvey, fondly known as "Goldie", has died after a sudden illness.
Her record label said Miss Harvey, 31, had complained of a
severe headache shortly after returning to Nigeria from the US where she
had attended the music industry's Grammy Awards.Goldie died on Thursday night at Reddington Hospital, in Victoria Island, Lagos.
A statement posted on her page Facebook said:
"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.”
Goldie had won several industry awards and appeared in last year's celebrity Big Brother Africa TV show.
