Many prominent Dancehall and Reggae musicians, political figures such as Prime Minister Andrew Holness and Opposition Leader Mark Golding, and other well-wishers have expressed their condolences and tributes to Peetah Morgan, who passed away in the United States on February 25, 2024.<\/p>\n
According to his family, lead singer Peter Anthony Morgan, often known as “Peetah,” passed away on Sunday at the age of 46. He created the well-known reggae band Morgan Heritage with his four brothers.<\/p>\n
In expressing his sorrow, Jamaican Prime Minister Andrew Holness said that the death was significant for both Jamaica and reggae.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy heart is heavy to learn of the passing of Peetah Morgan of the world-renowned Morgan Heritage. I send deep condolences to the Morgan family as they grieve this tremendous loss which is also a colossal loss for Jamaica and for Reggae music,\u201d he wrote.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Dancehall artist Buju Banton recalled initially meeting the band in New York and expressed shock at Morgan’s untimely passing, particularly since they were collaborating on a new project at the time.<\/p>\n
\u201cOver twenty five years ago, I was invited to listen to a new group on the horizon. I was in NYC. I went to a place called Bushwick, Brooklyn, to listen to this set of new musicians\/artists. I was completely in love with the sound, the work ethic and the good vibe I felt. That day I immediately added them to my European Tour dates and would go on to bring that sound to the world with the help of Penthouse\u2019s Donovan Germain,\u201d the Hills and Valleys singer wrote on Instagram.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Kenyan artists who sent their condolence message include Khaligraph Jones, who penned on his Instagram;<\/p>\n
