Spade_Cooley 9,562 Posted March 1, 2010 Rumour going around Twitter that Guru has had a heart attack and is in a coma.

Spade_Cooley 9,562 Posted April 20, 2010 Yeah, at a guess that's because of certain actionable comments about the producer "Solar", a very shifty character who become close to Guru in his final days and is now going around with a letter he claims was written by Guru on his deathbed. Good to see rap music maintaining its usual dignified approach to a death. Guardian obit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
