Tonight’s Hennessy Artistry reggae concert has lost one of its top performers.
Jamacain artiste Gyptian, one of the main headliners of the show, reportedly fell ill in New York on Thursday night, and had to be rushed to hospital according to his manager Ivor Ruddock.
The nature and seriousness of his condition remains unknown.
As a precaution to reserve the quality of the show, organisers FAS Entertainment toiled over the past 24 hours, and have earned the services of Anthony B, real name Anthony Blair, to replace Gyptian.
The show, to be held at the National Stadium tonight, features other Jamaican artistes, Beres Hammond, and Cocoa Tea as well as a number of local artistes. (BA)
