His sister and manager, Kereena, who confirmed Bartley’s death earlier this week, previously conveyed that it was hard for her to express her brother’s current feelings during this difficult time.
Known fondly by the aliases “Rooster”, “Fada,” and “Specky,” Bartley passed away on July 12. He had just celebrated his 59th birthday a day earlier.
The details of Bartley’s death have not been revealed, but he had been suffering from ill health for some time. Kareena disclosed that he passed away peacefully among his loved ones.
