Grammy Award-winning rapper Coolio has died at the age of 59.
The rap icon, best known for his chart-topping 1995 hit 'Gangsta's Paradise', was reportedly found unresponsive at a friend's house in Los Angeles, per TMZ. Tributes have been pouring in from all over the globe for the star, who visited Belfast 15 times.
Coolio was no stranger to Ireland, frequently gigging on both sides of the border. In recent years, he even developed an interest in GAA and worked on projects with Aslan frontman Christy Dignam and Dublin-based rap group Versatile.
