The Nigerian gospel music community is grieving the loss of popular singer Dele Gold, who has been confirmed dead following a brief illness. He passed away on Wednesday, leaving fans and fellow musicians in shock.
Colleague Alayo Melody took to social media to express his sorrow, writing, “Dele Gold died? Ahhh, this is getting too much!!!! May God help us put an end to untimely deaths. Dele Agbeyo, may your soul rest well.”
Dele Gold’s death comes just weeks after the passing of another rising star in the industry, Aduke Ajayi, also known as Aduke Gold, marking a period of profound tragedy for gospel music lovers.
In a poignant interview before his passing, Dele Gold shared that he had initially been indifferent to pursuing a career in music. However, a series of dreams where he found himself composing and singing ultimately convinced him that his musical path was divinely inspired. His contributions to the genre will be remembered as a testament to his passion and belief in the power of music.
