O artista de calipso, ska e rocksteady Lord Creator faleceu no dia 30 de Junho. Nascido Kenrick Patrick, tinha 87 anos de idade.
O cantor é mais conhecido pelo seu hit “Kingston Town”, que mais tarde teve uma cover feita pela banda UB40.
“He died at 11 a.m, he hadn’t been feeling well for some time”, referiu Neseline Patrick, esposa de Lord Creator, à “DancehallMag”.
“He had suffered two strokes, the last one in 2005, he had prostate problems, diabetes and high blood pressure , and he also had done surgery on his back in 2013. He was walking a bit until 2019 when he stopped walking altogether.”
“He didn’t let his illnesses bother him, he was humorous, he gave jokes, you wouldn’t believe he was a sick person, he was a real joy”, relembra a esposa com quem o artista se casou há 23 anos.
O cantor, que vivia com a mulher em Golden Grove, recebeu a Order of Distinction (Officer Rank) do governo da Jamaica, em 2022.
