Goldie: shocking
death
Goldie’s death was
confirmed yesterday by her management via her Facebook Page and Twitter handle.
The post reads: “It is with heavy heart that I have to announce to you all that
Goldie passed on this night (last night) shortly after arriving Lagos from Los
Angeles. May her soul rest in the eternal peace of the Lord…
Amin.”
The main cause of her
death is still sketchy as at time of filing this report. Goldie was said to have
been rushed to Reddington Hospital by close friend, Denrele Edun from her Park
View residence after she complained of headache.
But a source close to the
music star confided in P.M.NEWS that Goldie died of complications from the use
of drugs. “She had complications from the use of dope. I guess things went wrong
this time around.”
Another source also told
P.M.NEWS this morning that “she had been into this drug stuff for some time now.
I believe that contributed to her death.” Goldie, who represented Nigeria at
last year’s Big Brother Amplified (BBA) in South Africa, is signed to Kennis
Music.
Keke Ogungbe, the
President of Kennis Music, confirmed the death of the songstress in a statement
this morning. “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.”
The remains of Goldie, who
hails from Ekiti State have been deposited at the Lagos University Teaching
Hospital mortuary.
The deceased attended
Green Springs Montessori Primary School and St. John’s College, Palm Grove
before moving on to the University of Sunderland where she studied Business
Management.

2010 and had her debut album, Gold. Some of her hit songs are “You Know It”,
“JawoJawo” and DTMB (Don’t Touch My Body).
In her music career,
Goldie received 10 awards, including Exquisite Lady of the year, Best Female
Artiste award and City People Best Female Artiste of the
year.
Goldie became the final celebrity to exit the BBA7 star game house in 2012 as the 3rd runner up
