We heard the news last night too just like everyone. In-fact we were at an event, when the unpalatable news came filtering in like a terrible avalanche. We immediately discarded the sad news, hoping against all hope that it was the figment of the imaginations of some naysayers. But the news just wouldn't change. At a point we started calling Goldie's phone, but it just kept saying the phone was dead. That got our attention the more. We frantically started calling Goldie's BFF, Denrele but alas!His phone was dead too. Many were calling and sending messages trying to find out the truth. We couldn't answer all because though we knew it had happened, we were asking and praying for a miracle. But the miracle just didn't come. We were even just a few minutes away from the Reddington Hospital, Victoria Island, but we refused to go there because we were refusing to believe the truth.
In our numbness at the news and situation we refused to write anything. We immediately left the event we were attending and went home, straight to bed. Thinking that by the time we wake up, we would be hearing the good news that all of last night was a joke. But it wasn't. Susan Harvey, 31, aka Goldie, the in your face crooner on Kennis Music Label has truly passed on to the great beyond.
Goldie only just came back into the country yesterday, after going to the Grammy Awards, which was also attended by her label boss Mr. Kenny 'Keke' Ogungbe. We heard she only complained of headache, before Denrele her very close friend, rushed her to her hospital, only to be pronounced dead on arrival.
Sad, sad, sad. Adieu! Our friend. May your divine soul RIP! She is survived by her dad, step-mom & siblings. God would give the family and friends the strong heart to bear the loss.
Statement attributed to the President of Kennie Music- Mr. Kenny 'Keke' Ogungbe reads thus-
“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.
Adieu Goldie!!!
