Nigerian pop singer Susan Oluwabimpe “Goldie” Harvey, has died after a sudden illness, her manager says.

Her record label said Goldie Harvey, 31, had complained of a severe headache shortly after returning to Nigeria from the US where she had attended the music industry’s Grammy Awards.

Goldie Harvey was rushed to a hospital in Lagos, where she was pronounced dead.

The singer had won several industry awards and appeared in last year’s celebrity Big Brother Africa TV show.

The programme stirred controversy with some Nigerians who said Goldie Harvey did not portray the country’s culture in a positive light as she came across as too Western.

Others criticized the singer for her on-off romance with a fellow housemate, the Kenyan rapper Prezzo – but she remained hugely popular with young audiences.

A message posted on her Facebook page on Thursday evening said: “It is with heavy heart that I have to inform you all that Goldie passed this night shortly after arriving Lagos from LA. May her soul rest in the eternal peace of the Lord – Amin.”

Kenny Ogungbe, the head of her music label, Kennis Music, said she had “an abundance of talent” and it was a “gloomy moment” for Nigeria’s music industry.

Goldie Harvey was also enjoying popularity across Africa, he said in a statement.

Her three latest singles from a forthcoming album, African Invasion, were “presently enjoying heavy rotations on radio and TV stations across the continent”, Kenny Ogungbe said.

Kenya’s Daily Nation newspaper reports that Prezzo was already on his way to Nigeria to visit Goldie Harvey on Thursday.

A host of celebrities have paid tribute to Whitney Houston as part of a special Grammy television show in Los Angeles.

Britney Spears, Halle Berry and LL Cool J were among the presenters at the Nokia Theatre honoring Whitney Houston who died in February aged 48.

There were also musical performances from Jennifer Hudson and Usher who sang some of Whitney Houston’s hits.

We Will Always Love You: A Grammy Salute to Whitney Houston will be broadcast in the US on 13 November.

A number of stars shared their memories of the singer at the event.

“She inspired a generation of little girls and women to believe in their own dream and to know that they had within themselves the greatest gift of all,” Halle Berry said on stage.

“I was one of those little girls who then became a woman who never ever, ever, stopped loving Whitney Houston.”

While Britney Spears said her version of Whitney Houston’s I Have Nothing scored her a deal with a record label and started her career.

The event was attended by Whitney Houston’s daughter, Bobbi Kristina Brown, and record label executive Clive Davis, who discovered the singer.

Whitney Houston was found dead in a Beverly Hills hotel bathtub the night before this year’s Grammy awards.

Authorities said the cause of death was accidental drowning brought on by cocaine use and heart disease.

There were no signs of foul play surrounding the death of legendary singer and actress Whitney Houston, according to a Los Angeles coroner.

After a post mortem examination, the coroner said there were no visible signs of trauma on Whitney Houston’s body and that foul play was “not suspected at this time”.

The coroner added officials were not ruling out any causes of death until they had the results of toxicology tests.

Whitney Houston was found dead in the bath in her Beverly Hilton hotel room in Los Angeles on Saturday afternoon.

The coroner said he would not release any more details on the post mortem performed on Sunday at the request of police detectives investigating Whitney Houston’s death.

Meanwhile, the music world has been remembering Whitney Houston’s life and career at the Grammy Awards.

Host LL Cool J opened the event with a prayer for Whitney Houston, who won six Grammys during her career.

“There is no way around this. We’ve had a death in our family,” he said.

“The only thing that feels right is to begin with a prayer for a woman who we loved – for our fallen sister, Whitney Houston.”

The audience then gave a standing ovation after watching a clip of Whitney Houston’s hit I Will Always Love You.

Dressed in black and with a simple piano accompaniment, singer Jennifer Hudson later gave a moving rendition of the same song, ending with the line: “Whitney, we will always love you.”

Others paying tribute during the ceremony included singer Bruno Mars, who told the crowd: “Tonight we’re celebrating the beautiful Miss Whitney Houston.”

“To Whitney up in heaven, we all love you,” echoed Stevie Wonder.

Melanie Fiona, who won best traditional R&B vocal performance and best R&B song, said: “Whitney Houston, I would not be standing up here if it were not for you.”

Reactions to Whitney Houston’s death dominated the ceremony of the Grammy Awards, the most high-profile event in the US music calendar.

Before the show, Jimmy Jam, a friend and producer of Houston’s, said it was “a bitter-sweet occasion”.

“Anytime someone passes away, the thing you do is you gather your family together [and] tell stories,” he said.

“A little bit of mourning, little bit of celebrating – this is our family tonight and we’re going to do it the best that we can do it.”

Earlier on Sunday, the Reverend Al Sharpton paid tribute to Whitney Houston while preaching at the Second Baptist Church in Los Angeles.

“Yes, she had an outstanding range,” he said.

 “Yes, she could hit notes no one else could reach.

“But what made her different was she was born and bred in the bosom of the black church.”

Meanwhile, Whitney Houston’s 18-year-old daughter Bobbi Kristina Brown has been released from hospital after being treated for stress and anxiety following her mother’s death.

Whitney Houston holds the record for having the most consecutive chart-topping singles in the US, reaching number one seven times between 1985 and 1988.

But her later career was overshadowed by substance abuse and her turbulent marriage to singer Bobby Brown.

In recent years drug use had taken its toll on Whitney Houston and her voice – once acknowledged as one of the finest in pop music – was badly damaged.

British singer Adele was the big winner at the Grammy Awards 2012 in Los Angeles, winning six prizes including record, song and album of the year.

Adele also made her live comeback at the ceremony, performing for the first time since having throat surgery last year.

Rock band Foo Fighters won five prizes, while rapper Kanye West scooped four.

The 54th edition of Grammy Awards ceremony saw heartfelt tributes to pop star Whitney Houston, who died on Saturday, while Amy Winehouse received a posthumous award.

Amy Winehouse’s parents accepted her prize for best pop duo/group performance for Body and Soul, her duet with Tony Bennett, which was the last recording the artist made before she died in July.

Adele won every award she was nominated for, including record of the year, song of the year and best short form music video for Rolling in the Deep. Her second album, 21, was named album of the year.

“This record is inspired by something that is really normal and everyone’s been through it, just a rubbish relationship,” Adele said.

“It’s gone on to do things I can’t tell you how I feel about it, it’s been the most life-changing year.”

Adele was forced to cancel all live dates last year but earned a standing ovation after her return to the stage with Rolling in the Deep.

Accepting the trophy for best pop solo performance for her song Someone Like You, Adele said: “Seeing as it’s a vocal performance, I need to thank my doctors, I suppose, who brought my voice back.”

The British artist’s producer Paul Epworth, who also worked with Foster the People, Florence and the Machine and Cee Lo Green, was named best non-classical producer.

Foo Fighters’ awards included best rock album, best rock song, best rock performance and best hard rock/metal performance.

“This is a great honour because this record was a special record for our band,” frontman Dave Grohl told the crowd.

“Rather than go to the best studio, we made this one in my garage with some microphones and a tape machine. It shows that the human element of making music is what’s most important.”

Kanye West’s solo album My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy earned three awards, including best rap song and best rap album.

The track Otis – from Watch the Throne, his collaboration with Jay-Z – was named best rap performance.

The prize takes West’s total Grammy haul to 18. Neither he nor Jay-Z were present to pick up their awards.

Bon Iver, fronted by US singer-songwriter Justin Vernon, were named best new act, five years after their acclaimed debut album was released.

Their self-titled second LP also won best alternative album.

Other British victors included soul singer Corinne Bailey Rae, who scooped best R&B performance for Is This Love.

There was also success for Sir Paul McCartney, whose deluxe reissue of Wings’ Band on the Run was named best historial album.

US dance DJ Skrillex won three prizes, while double winners included folk duo The Civil Wars, country star Taylor Swift and gospel singer Kirk Franklin.

Chris Brown – returning to the event for the first time since 2009 – won the trophy for best R&B album for F.A.M.E.

Chris Brown was returning to the event for the first time since assaulting his then-girlfriend Rihanna before the 2009 ceremony.

Rihanna – the ex-girlfriend Chris Brown assaulted before the ceremony three years ago – was also present, taking to the stage with British band Coldplay.

Also playing live were Bruce Springsteen, McCartney, the Beach Boys and Kelly Clarkson.

Jennifer Hudson gave a rendition of Whitney Houston’s I Will Always Love You in a tribute to the late singer.

The ceremony also saw Alicia Keys and Bonnie Raitt sang a duet of A Sunday Kind of Love in tribute to Etta James, who died last month.
