“My heart, like many other musicians who knew him, was broken because I have not only lost a colleague, but also a friend,” British-Congolese musician Fiston Lusambo told Music In Africa.
“He developed breathing complications related to COVID-19 and had to be admitted to the ICU. He will be dearly missed here in the UK and everywhere else. He will be remembered as a great composer and magnificent singer.”
Lusambo said the date of Nzayadio’s funeral service would be announced in due course.
He said African musicians in the UK would also organise a tribute in his memory.
