The rapper behind ‘90s hit Gangsta’s Paradise, Coolio, died at the age of 59 earlier this week.
After the artist, whose real name was Artis Leon Ivey Jr, passed - we at Glasgow Live were thinking about his appearance at the Pavilion Theatre in 1998. After rising to fame with his debut album It Takes a Thief, he gained further popularity when he released Gangsta’s Paradise in 1995.
Three years later, he crossed the Atlantic and performed to a crowd at the Pavilion - a building which typically hosts plays, comedy shows and pantomimes.
