The sun has set on iconic Reggae singer, Majek Fashek.
The musician with the full name, Majekodunmi Fasheke, had suffered protracted illnesses and psychological lapses for a long time after stardom slipped off his destiny.
Yet, his death, as confirmed by his manager, Omenka Uzoma, has ignited memories of his success as a fantastic singer who stormed limelight in 1987/1988 and a few years after after releasing his album, Prisoner of Conscience.
“Today been having pressure calls, well it is true that the African No 1 Legendary ICON has gone to be with the LORD his Maker,” Uzoma noted on Fashek’s IG page.
His fans and other followers are also making a story of the fact that rain seized early Tuesday morning in laces such as Lagos and Ibadan, about the time his death was being announced.
This is significant to them, bearing in mind the magic his ‘Send down the rain’ song sparked as its release then was believed to have invoked rain.
While remembering his powerful voice and fantastic power of composition, however, many will also remember him as a phenomenon who missed his golden steps due to negative personal choices.
He took to drugs at a time his muse wa flowering most and he unfortunately could not survive the effects.
