Veteran Jamaican singer Frankie Paul has passed away.

This was confirmed by Paul’s sister, Tisha Clarke, who spoke to artist Wayne Lonesome about her brother’s passing.

The conversation was streamed by Lonesome on Facebook live, where she shared the news.

According to previous reports, the family of the artiste was facing difficulty satisfying the medical bills of Paul.

Clarke recently revealed to The Gleaner that they were issued a $1.4 million dollar medical bill which was outstanding payments for Paul’s treatment.

“I don’t have no more money because I have to buy prescriptions for him that they don’t have at the pharmacy,” she said.

According to Clarke, Paul had been a patient at the UHWI since April 2017, and was ill for an extended period of time.
