Reggae Legend Prince Buster has died aged 78 the man behind One Step Beyond, Madness and some of the genre's most endearing early hits.

Regarded as Jamaica's first international musical legend, Cecil Bustamente Campbell hailed from Kingston,, having been born on Orange Street – now known as the heart and soul of Jamaican ska, rocksteady and reggae.

Without him the group Madness would not have existed.

"Buster, he sold the heat with a rock-steady beat"

As a Madness fan this is terrible news.

For those who may not realise, Madness were named after one of his songs, they would also cover said song, they also covered a little song of his called "One Step Beyond" and their debut "The Prince" was about him.

Other than that, they weren't fussed

RIP Sir.
