January 28, 2009 by Editor
The brother of Lovers Rock singer Jean Adebambo has confirmed to her manager, Orlando Gittens, that Jean Adebambo’s death is thought to be suicide and that there was no one else involved.
According to an article on Voice Online, Gittens said
“I spoke to Jean’s brother Claudius who told me that Jean took her own life and that there was no-one else involved,”
Rumours have been circulating the Internet since the the the singer was found dead on the 15th of January, as yet no official confirmation has come as to the cause of death, however the Voice online article is the closest we have to come to an official confirmation of suicide.
Jean Adebambo’s death has shocked the British reggae community. There is a benefit concert planned for March 15th at the Hackney Empire. Tickets were still available as of the time of this report.
my heart reaches out to jeans mother, brother, family and friends…. I wish to send my deepest sympathy …..i lost my youngest sister, helena, two years ago to suicide…she was 44…….i am a lover of jeans’ music…may she rest in paradise
its sad that human beings in general never really recognize the vulnerability of some of its most beloved and vulnerable stars,&their close associates and family…so many stars turn to drugs ,alcohol or cover-ups&denial in a bid to cope with the stresses that outweigh their ability to cope in an unforgiving &demanding society -we really need to pay close attention to the need for more support for our mental health services and ourselves as human beings in trying to deal with our own issues and other members of society in general…where this world has gone forward in the world of technology etc-we must consider that the human mind wasnt naturally built to cope with some of the pressure thats put on it-the normal structure of family life and communication between friends and associates is suffering a lot as a result and because people think that the only way to cope is to have more money to pay for expensive services they think will help,they embark upon a journey to achieve financial status and ignore their own human needs until it closes in and takes it toll.this is an evil..try to remind each other everyday of the power of love in all its forms and tend to each others needs,insecurities,fears and jealousys or any other guise mental illness takes as it happens to us all from time to time and suicide&murder are just 2 of the most prolific results it produces….take care people
Its very sad news, feeling really sad

Just a thought, if just a portion of the love was generated since her death was given to her before her death, then maybe she would still be alive and with us and bestowing her gifts to us.
Lets not make the same mistake with people that need that love now.
RIP Jean
Why do people have to die before they are should love? That’s messed up, MJ ,jean. How many more.
I dont understand…. but I understand the misery of silent depression which has no respecter of colour, race, gender, culture or talent.
My sincerest heart felt love to Jean’s daughters and family who live on whilst coming to terms with their loss. I always loved Jean’s beautiful voice which touched so many. May she indeed rest in peace.
Blessed Be x
How very sad, wishing peace to her.
My condolensce goes out to jean adebambo’s family at the loss of such a talented artist and role model of society, i would just like to say that it is so sad that we are not shown the love we need when we are alive which could ease so much of our pain i hope we all learn from this and start showing more love and respect to our family and peers, we are all vulnerable people and without love this can be a very lonely world. May your soul rest in perfect peace jean
blessings to all
I just learnt of Jean’s death today. My brother and I were reminiscing over the l music that me missed after leaving the UK and stumbled across the sad news of the web. I wonder what was so terrible in her life that made her take this desperate action. Jean, I loved, loved your music, it will live with me forever; thank you for the wonderful memories and continue to rest in peace.
I am in tears. I was going through the songs that I love on utube and realized that Jean Adebambo had taken her life. My condolence to her family. I will never forget the life I lived while I was in the UK thanks to Jean Adebambo’s music. My life elsewhere will not be the same. Respect to her family. May God bless them all.
