A druid (Welsh: derwydd; Old Irish: druÃ­) was a member of the high-ranking professional class in ancient Celtic cultures. While perhaps best remembered as religious leaders, they were also legal authorities, adjudicators, lorekeepers, medical professionals and political advisors.
He was released in 1986 after yet another change of government. Fela Anikulapo Kuti died on Saturday, August 2, 1997, at 4pm (local time) in Lagos, Nigeria. It had been rumoured for some time that Fela had a serious illness he was refusing treatment for, many said he was suffering from prostate cancer. But as it turns out, Fela died from complications due to AIDS.
He died on the third of October 1226 at the chapel in Portiuncla, forty-four years old and completely exhausted. The 3rd of October is the feast day of his patron saint and in 1929 the World Wild Life Funds made the 4th of October World Animal Day, as Francis was renowned for his love of animals.
