The funeral for Antiguan soca star Ricardo Drue will be held on January 9 in his home country. Drue’s mother Nicola Barriteau said the funeral would begin at 1 pm at the Holy Family Cathedral, Michael’s Mount, St John’s in Antigua. Ricardo Drue died on December 11, plummeting fellow soca stars and fans into mourning. He was the fiance of TT soca star Patrice Roberts.
Nicola posted : “There are no words at this time to express the overwhelming love and support given as the family continues to process and come to terms with the passing of our beloved son…We are thankful for the respect shown during this extremely difficult time.”
Barriteau added that the whole family wished “the hands of time could be rewound,” the harshest reality of life is death.
She ended: “the almighty is in full control.”
