Singer Kehinde Adegbodu recalls final moments with late brother

Gospel singer Kehinde Adegbodu has shared an emotional tribute to his late twin brother and music partner, Taiwo Adegbodu, recalling the final moments they spent together before his sudden death.

Kehinde took to the Adegbodu Twins’ Facebook page to mourn his brother, sharing old photos and expressing the deep pain of losing the person he described as his closest companion.

According to him, the two were together until about 11 p.m. on the night before Taiwo passed away, noting that his brother appeared active before he unexpectedly left.

Reflecting on the loss, Kehinde said he was still struggling to come to terms with the reality of life without his twin, adding that several days had passed since the tragedy.

“By this time last week Saturday you were still alive and very active. We were together till 11pm before you left suddenly. So it’s already eight days without you, my best friend,” he wrote.

He added that the absence of his brother’s voice and presence has left a painful void in his life.

“It’s already eight days you chose to stay alone in the morgue without telling me you’re going. So I won’t see you anymore, so I won’t hear your powerful vocal voice again. But you should know that I will miss you a lot,” he wrote.

Kehinde also prayed that his brother would continue to guide him spiritually, while promising to uphold the legacy they built together in music.

“Please sir T, you must do everything to become number one choir master in heaven and you must be with me in spirit to take care of the kids, wife and band members,” he added.

Taiwo Adegbodu died on March 1 at the age of 46, although the cause of his death has not yet been made public.

The late singer was widely known as one half of the Adegbodu Twins, a gospel music duo he formed with his brother Kehinde. The pair gained popularity in the Yoruba gospel music scene after releasing their debut album “Faratimi (Lean on Me)” in 1999.

Family members have announced plans to honour the late singer with an artistes’ night on March 30 at Bollads Event Centre along Akala Express in Ibadan.

His burial service is scheduled to take place the following day, March 31, at his residence.
