REMY ZERO DRUMMER PASSES AWAY

On a very sad note, we have learnt that former Remy Zero drummer Gregory Slay recently passed away at the age of 40. The musician suffered from cystic fibrosis, which led to his death. Slay won an Emmy in 2003 for the theme song to Nip/Tuck. In a statement, the band says, “Gregory inspired all who had the chance to see him perform, to hear the music that he made or just to be around his bountiful spirit.” Our condolences to his family, fans and friends from MTV Africa.
