Grammy-winning rapper, producer and actor Coolio, best known for his 1995 hit Gangsta’s Paradise, has passed away at 59. The rapper’s long-time manager Jarel Posey confirmed the news that Coolio had died on Wednesday afternoon. Coolio was found at a friend’s house.

Coolio rose to prominence in the Los Angeles rap scene in the 90s, scoring his big break when he recorded the song Gangsta’s Paradise for the 1995 film Dangerous Minds, starring Michelle Pfeiffer. In 1996, Gangsta’s Paradise was nominated for record of the year and best rap solo performance at the Grammy Awards, with Coolio winning the latter. — IANS

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
