Reggae Ska legend Floyd Lloyd has died.

A rep for the singer told Urban Islandz that he has been sick for a while before passing away while undergoing treatment at the St. Ann’s Bay hospital. “He was sick for a while but didn’t make it public so the news may come as a shock to his fans,” his representative said.
Other sources suggested that the singer was complaining about severe stomach pain before being rushed to the hospital. He died a short time later.
