The group meanwhile didn’t reveal what led to the death of their lead singer. It should be noted that the group was formed in 1994. They consisted of 5 children belonging to reggae legend Denroy Morgan. However, two of the members later left the group.

Morgan Heritage relocated to Jamaica in the 90’s from Brooklyn where their father had traveled to in 1965 in his pursuit of a music career.
