CEO of Kennis Music, the label Goldie was signed on, Kenny Ogungbe has issued a statement detailing the final hours of the late singer.

"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."

Goldie's remains have been deposited at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital, LASUTH mortuary.

    The way Stars are dying makes me wonder what is wrong somewhere.Death is inevitable.But some type of deaths calls for questioning.what i feel life is more really hotter when one rises above the average mortal. The only solution is to really embrace God firmly. Some times the urge for riches and protection make some people trip off God's track for their live. God is not only for the poor and the wretched. Every Star needs the real God for Grace, mercy and protection.
