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.
After Fela died; he made some statements which drew my interest to follow the HIV story closely. I even kept Times and Newsweek publications that featured celebrity victims of HIV AIDS of that era, like Fred Makuri, Elizabeth Taylorâs bodyguard and lover, others like Magic Johnson when he caught the virus, etc.
