A REGGAE legend who shot to fame with a BBC-banned hit has died aged 80 – as tributes pour in for the “gentle soul”.
Max Romeo died from heart complications, according to an online statement.
It read: “It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved Max.
“We are deeply grateful for the outpouring of love and tributes, and kindly ask for privacy at this time. Legends never die.”
Max released his hit track Wet Dream in 1968 – which the BBC banned due its controversial lyrics.
His other hits include War Ina Babylon and Chase The Devil.
