Reggae songbird Yvonne Sterling has died in hospital after suffering a stroke.
She succumbed this morning while being treated at the Kingston Public Hospital.
She recently returned to the spotlight after The Gleaner highlighted her plight that she had hit hard times.
Sterling’s home was severely flooded when the St Andrew community was ravaged by rains from Hurricane Eta’s outer bands last year.
