DALLAS – Mikey Dread, Inner Visions Reggae Band, KNON 89.3 Irie FM Reggae DJ’s, Mackie Conscious and Sinai Records would like to extend Condolences to the family, friends and fans of Lucky Phillip Dube who are now in sorrow for his premature and unfortunate passing.
Like a thunder heard around the world, the news of Lucky’s death has saddened and distressed us all. Today around the world we are in deep mourning, in mourning for the family, in mourning for the friends, in mourning for Lucky’s worldwide fan base and so for the Artists out there who have performed with Lucky on many occasions and for yet another tragic loss to the Reggae World of Entertainment.
In our hearts of hearts Lucky will live on forever. He was an inspirational singer whose songs always moved us to action. He was truly Africa’s Reggae King – that was shared with us all, on an international scale. Even though he sleeps now and is resting, he will always be the energetic inspirational singer we have all grown to know and love.
Lucky Dube has made an indelible mark in the world of music. Through his Music he will remain with us until the end of time.
Special remembrance from Queen Mushiya
My first introduction to Lucky Dube was in 1991 at the Reggae Sunsplash in Jamaica. I was enthralled in his performance, he was so energetic and played Reggae in a different brand than what I was used to. Lucky Dube impressed me so much, I even joined his fan club. He so inspired me that the Lucky Dube Fan clud was the first and only fan club for a Artist I’ve ever joined. His presence will certainly be missed; he will however live on in our hearts and minds. Gone but will never ever be forgotten.
Jah’s continued blessings and comfort to you all.
