No, Sparrow ent dead

Sparrow has to stop doing that. The national heart can’t take more of this. But I hear the truth is that he up in Brooklyn working on a new album and this was a publicity stunt for it. He wants us to say “Sparrow come back home…oh god …Do leave us to moan”. The bad talk had already started when the man changed his mind. He decided he nah leaving!

Hopes surge for Sparrow on the mend

SENTIMENTS of relief surged internationally following the (authorised) announcement that the Mighty Sparrow, born Slinger Francisco, had emerged from a coma in the New York hospital where he has been treated. For two weeks before, a decline in his condition had been marked by false alarms and distressingly exaggerated reports.
