Nigerians and indeed, the entertainment industry was shocked to
learn of the sudden demise of Susan Oluwabimpe Harvey popularly called
Goldie on Valentine’s Day. While many wished, hoped and prayed that the
story will turn out to be a hoax,
despite wide reportage on blogs, a press statement issued by the President of Kennis Music (Goldie’s Record Label), Keke Ogungbe, midnight Thursday, confirmed the news.
The statement reads:
“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” the statement concludes.
