Dancehall Pioneer Steely (of Steely and Clevie) Battles For Life...

Sad news from New York, this past days all the internet crying about an US DJ found dead in his home (DJ AM, never heard about this guy...), while only Jamaica Observer talks about Wycliffe 'Steely' Johnson who suffer from pneumonia in a NY hospital...

"Wycliffe 'Steely' Johnson, of Steely and Clevie fame, is in critical condition at a New York hospital but the music fraternity has been praying for his recovery.

"We want to keep a positive mind," Clevie Brownie, the other half of the dancehall pioneering duo, told the Sunday Observer. "The chance of his survival is slim."

Johnson is suffering from pneumonia having recovered from kidney complications in December, said Brownie, who has been in contact via phone and saw him in July."
