Legendary musician Andy Brown died of
pneumonia a day after his birthday on March 16 2012.
The 50 year old musician had just
arrived from his tour in Switzerland and was admitted to Parirenyatwa hospital
where he died at 5.45pm on Friday. And his former wife Chiwoniso Maraire
confirmed that he had died to pneumonia.
Where the wife was when the ex wife
was confirming her husband’s death is anyone’s guess
He survived by his wife Nadine and 10
children. Yes TEN!!! And the government is taking a peculiar interest in his
death. Jonathan Moyo declared Andy’s death a national tragedy and the
government wanted to declare him a national hero.
Brown was well known for his songs
like Tichango shaina, Mapurisa among others.
I have made an interesting observation
that popular icons are robbed of their will to live at the age of 50, these are
inclusive of people like Michael Jackson, Marvin Gay, Bob Marley and Brian
Jones only, to mention a few. Meaningful music has become largely at risk of
extinction as legends are dying with the real talent. All we have left is the
young hip hop an r n b artists who boast about naked women, sex, fame,
expensive cars, all which bring no significance and value to life.
WE MOURN THE DEATH OF MEANINGFUL MUSIC
ALONG WITH ITS MUSICIANS…
REST IN ETERNAL PEACE ANDY….
