Stars of the hit Nineties programme Gladiators reunited recently for
a special documentary after a 15-year absence from our television
screens. (Pictured left to right) Wolf, whose real name is Michael Van
Wijk, has ditched his trademark perm in favour of a shaved head;
Lightning, or Kim Betts, has retained her glamorous model-like looks;
Jet, whose real name is Diane Youdale, stills sports a glossy mane of
brunette hair and a cheeky smile; Hunter, or James Crossley, now rocks a
grey beard and trendy flat cap;
So this morning, I received a mail and a text message that Five Star
Music artist Skiibii collapsed in his sitting room and died. And they
sent me the photo above. The source said he'd dressed up and was going
for his media rounds today when he suddenly fell and was unable to be
revived. Because I know the guys at Five Star Music, I contacted them
for confirmation. I actually called the music label's artist manager,
Soso
Soberekon, to confirm the news. Soso, who had already posted a
candlelight image on his instagram page said he would call me back with
confirmation, that they were just hearing about the incident, that he
and Kcee were in Europe. He called me back at exactly 10.02am to confirm
that Skiibii had passed on. So I carried the news.
