Linda Smith Isaacs, former partner of ‘The Cool Ruler’, has died
Former artiste manager, Linda Smith Isaacs, in whose house the veteran singer Gregory Isaacs spent his last days while battling cancer, has died.
“She passed away yesterday (June 21) at about 2:30 in the hospital,” Tony Owens, a close friend of Linda Isaacs, confirmed to OBSERVER ONLINE.
Following the passing of the reggae star in 2010, rumours surfaced surrounding the Night Nurse hit-maker’s relationship with his UK manager Linda, who has been referred to in the UK media as Isaacs’ wife.
Linda, in interviews said that she and Isaacs were very much in love, even though their “union wasn’t recognised by law.”
“Gregory and myself were together for a few years, but we were not legally married. Last April, he wanted me to change my name by deed poll to Isaacs, so I did. And yes, he said I was his wife and I said he was my husband. If we did wrong, then let the Almighty judge us,” she was quoted as saying at the time.
Gregory Isaacs was legally married to June Isaacs at the time of his death.
