Dancehall artiste Bramma, known for the songs Trust People and Cha Cha Bwoy, was forced to cut short his month-long US promotional tour on the weekend following the death of his beloved grandmother.

His grandma, Myrtle Brammer, passed away last Friday after ailing for some time with diabetes among other medical complications.

Upon receiving the unfortunate news, the deejay, who shared a special bond with her, said he had no choice but to halt the tour and return home to be with his family. Prior to his return, Bramma took to his Instagram page, @realgorilla, and wrote, "Cah believe Grama gaan ... #rip mi hurt ... but still we got to push on."

In a statement to the media, Bramma says he's not sure when the tour will resume because his main focus at present is sorting out the funeral arrangements and providing support for the other members of his family.

"I can't tell you when or if the tour will continue, family comes first and that takes priority over all other things right now," he said.

Meanwhile, Bramma, whose given name is Lloyd Brammer, is expected to release a number of projects, in collaboration with Stephen 'Di Genius' McGregor, in the weeks ahead, along with

several music videos shot during his recent stint in Europe, as part of a renewed 2015 campaign.
