Jimmy Cliff, the pioneering reggae singer and star of the 1972 Jamaican film The Harder They Come , is dead at 81. His wife, Latifa Chambers, said he died after experiencing a seizure followed by pneumonia. She shared the news with “profound sadness” in a November 24 Instagram statement . “To all his fans around the world, please know that your support was his strength throughout his whole career,” Chambers wrote. “He really appreciated each and every fan for their love.” She thanked Cliff’s medical staff for their help and addressed her late husband directly: “Jimmy, my darling, may you rest in peace. I will follow your wishes.” The message, which was also signed by their children, Lilty and Aken, requested privacy for the family before concluding, “See you and we see you Legend.”
