Reggae legend Gregory Isaacs is currently resting in England after undergoing a series of medical tests Riddimtube.com has learnt.

The longstanding reggae hero, who has been dubbed the 'Cool Ruler', has endured a hectic year touring and performing at many live concerts and festivals.

Is Isaacs severely ill?

Earlier this week we have been hearing reports that the singer was very ill and in hospital abroad. Isaac’s manager, Copeland Forbes, however, said contrary and confirmed the singer is okay and doing well.

In an email to The Weekend Star Forbes said: “he’s not in a hospital he’s staying with Linda Smith (our United Kingdom management representative and promoter of the Reggae Symphony Concerts in the UK) who’s been taking good care of him as he’s taking a well deserved rest after a very hectic year of concert performances.”

Forbes added, “as I’ve said he’s undergoing some medical test as he has a blood circulation problem in his legs and some pains in his chest which has been bothering him for over a year. He’s scheduled to return to the doctor on September 21 for a follow-up on his condition and should be back in Jamaica October 9.”

We will keep fans posted as news of Isaacs health comes in.
