Reggae musician Gregory Isaacs has died at the age of 59.

The Jamaican singer passed away in London on Monday morning (October 25) following a year-long battle with lung cancer.

The prolific artist released over 500 albums in his lifetime, the most notable of which was the 1982 release Night Nurse.

"Gregory was well-loved by everyone, his fans and his family," said his wife Linda. "He worked really hard to make sure he delivered the music they loved and enjoyed."
