Yellow Banton, who’s best known in the late 90’s and early millennium with his style of infusing pidgin language into reggae, has been battling the deadly disease for about eight years.

In a recent interview, the singer says his wife left him seven years ago when the disease started and that his greatest fear his dying and leaving his children fatherless. He also added that his colleagues have since stopped inviting him for shows because they can't stand the sight of the injuries the disease has inflicted on him.
