HON. OLIVIA "BABSY" GRANGE
"I am shocked and deeply saddened by the passing today of Peter “Peetah” Morgan, lead singer of Morgan Heritage.
It was not so long ago in 2022 that I was assisting with funeral arrangements for his father Denroy Morgan and now to lose Peetah who was only 47, it's really heartbreaking. Led by Peetah, Morgan Heritage won three Grammy Awards and the Group has had major hits such as Don't Haffi Dread (To Be Rasta), Down by the River, She's Still Loving Me, and Reggae Bring Back Love. We honoured them at the 2023 Grand Gala at which they also performed.
My sincerest condolences to his wife Marie, the other members of Morgan Heritage Group and other siblings, the rest of the family, relatives, friends and to the music fraternity here in Jamaica and abroad. I shall surely miss Petaah's calm, unassuming and respectful manner. Rest well my son."
CLINTON FEARON:
"Sad news this morning I learned that Peetah Morgan passed away. It’s hard to believe the man was so young! We met few times, in Seattle and other places; the last time was in Brazil. We did gigs together in Sao Paulo and Salvador and so we had time for reasoning. He was an easy bredrin to talk with, very friendly and you could feel that welcoming vibe in his delivery. Talented artist who passed away way too soon. My sincere condolences to the Morgan family. One love."
MARLA BROWN:
"I JUST spoke to you.....
Beyond honoured to have known you and have you as family from my early EU days up until our very last convo. @peetahmusic was and still is one of the greatest vocalists and writers of our time. We thankyou wholeheartedly for your being. Rest well King. Love you plenty and always!
Heartfelt condolences to the Morgan family and loved ones."
JAH SUN:
"So sad to hear brother Peter has crossed over. You will be missed king! One of the best to ever do it, so talented and so humble. Recording together and performing our songs together are highlights of my career! Thank you king! Heartfelt condolences to the @morganheritage family. Trod easy bredrin! Fly away home."
