    Rising star Ebony Reigns has died in a road accident in Ghana, just days before she was due to travel to Europe to perform. She had been a favourite to be named singer of the year at the upcoming Ghana Music Awards, and her death has left fans shocked. http://bbc.in/2H3glyv pic.twitter.com/TURKXlje7Y

        Too much negligence on Ghanaian roads! How many senseless deaths have to occur before there are stricter laws to punish careless driving. The days of “oops I caused an accident,sorry” and life goes on have to end in Ghana.

        Yes she was only 20yrs too. And each song she did became a hit; total of 6 or 7 songs just last year. So promising

        Very talented rising star, full of life. Her life cut short. Saddened by her demise. We've lost a great gem in the music industry!
