Today numerous reports of Sparrow's demise were spreading on the Internet. I too saw a report on islandmix stating that "The Birdie" died today. This rumor mill was dispelled on Wack Radio 90.1 in Trinidad with a statement from Sparrow's life long friend Calypsonian Rose. Calypso Rose also spoke on Wack Radio via telephone conversation (live on air) around 5:35 pm with radio host Damion Melville to dispel the rumors of Sparrow's death.

Around 5:15 pm, in the Wack Radio Shoutbox, someone who knows Sparrow well and has called into the station on behalf of Sparrow several times posted the following conversation in the shout-box...

"I also confirm that 'The Birdie' is alive but still in a coma! He is stable, so all those stories on the Internet are not true. At this time we should all say a prayer and smile for 'The Birdie'. Rest assured... Yuh never saw him without a smile on his face!"

I also enjoyed reading a post by another person who comes to the Shout-Box whenever he has something important to say. This is what he had to say...
Whappenindey:  
"Sparrow 'doh' ever leave ah Stage until he Good an Ready...and when he does leave, it is 'tuh ah' Standing-Ovation..."

The Birdie aka "The Mighty Sparrow" is alive but fighting for his life in a Queen's hospital in New York City. Everyone is asked to say a prayer for his recovery. Here is a sweet 30 minutes of some to this great singer's music... enjoy the music and continue to prayer that "D'Birdie" continues to improve!
