The family of late R&B star Gerald Levert are planning to celebrate his life tomorrow with a musical tribute expected to be attended by the likes of Stevie Wonder, Angie Stone and Johnny Gill. Fans will be admitted to the event, which will take place at midday at the Cleveland Music Hall, on a first come first serve basis.
As previously reported, Levert died of a heart attack on 11 Nov, aged 40. Initial autopsy reports indicate that the singer was suffering from a moderate heart disease which may have prompted his untimely demise. Levert was, of course, the son of chief O'Jay Eddie Levert, and had just returned from a tour of South Africa with his father when he died. He had recently finished a new studio album, scheduled for release in February next year, and had also co-authored a book, 'I Got Your Back', with his father and writer Lyah LeFlore.
