Nigerian Gospel Singer Dele Agbeyo, popularly known as Dele Gold has passed away following a brief illness.
Hailing from Usi, Ekiti State, but raised in Faforiji, Osun State, Gold’s death was reported on Wednesday, sending shockwaves through the gospel music community.
Several of his colleagues, including Titi Oguntoyinbo, Akinlabi Major, Alayo Melody Singer, and Wonder Doyin Kujore, confirmed the sad news, expressing their grief on social media.
Akinlabi Major posted, “Let someone tell me this is not true. RIP Dele Gold,” while Alayo Melody Singer shared his disbelief: “Dele Gold Kee??? Ahh, this is getting too much ooo!!! May God help us stop untimely deaths. Dele Agbeyo, may your soul rest well.”
Wonder Doyin Kujore took to Facebook, reflecting on the loss: “Nothing is in this world; let us live today and leave tomorrow for God. I find it difficult to post about people who die prematurely because it saddens my heart, but I just have to pay my last respects here. Hmm… this life is full of vanity. Rest on, Dele Agbotikuyo, Dele Gold.”
Dele Gold was well-known for his collaboration with Juju music legend Ebenezer Obey on an album in 2019.
His passing comes just a month after the death of fellow gospel singer Aduke Ajayi, popularly known as Aduke Gold, who died while undergoing treatment for cervical cancer.
