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 sympathise with her family and fans all over the world and very
grateful to all and sundry, especially, the vibrant Nigerian media for their
