Reggae singer Luciano, is known for his serene manner, however he lost his cool at Saturday night's 'Unite the People' show in St. James, Jamaica. So upset was Luciano that he kicked a monitor box off the stage before leaving the stage in tears after he was heckled by a fan.

 

The artiste, who was billed to perform at 2:00 a.m. but was not called to the stage until 4:30 a.m., hit centre stage looking eager and ready to work. However, after kneeling down and saying his customary opening prayer, a voice from the crowd shouted, "come off the stage Rasta."

 

With a look of shock and disbelief on his face, the man known as 'The Messenger' looked in the direction from which the sound came and proceeded to blast the person who had made the comment. "Wha yu seh - seh me fe come offa de stage but wait - unoo nuh respect righteousness," said Luciano. "So unoo nuh love righteousness. Well, I am going to sweep over unoo soul tonight."

 

As the band began to play the song, “Sweep Over My Soul,” Luciano stopped singing, and still looking in the direction from which the comment had come, kicked the monitor box of the stage.

 

Luciano briefly regained his composure and began singing the song, “So Long Rastafari Call Yu,” but his eyes were soon swimming in tears. He then stopped singing again, told the audience he was leaving and walked off the stage.
