Ragga Twins have been legends of the mic since the 1980s, initially rising to fame on London’s Unity sound system, before finding wider acclaim as part of the burgeoning rave scene on the seminal 1991 album ‘Reggae Owes Me Money’.
Brothers Deman Rockers and Flinty Badman have been a mainstay on the drum & bass / jungle circuit since the inception of the genre, regularly appearing on Kool FM and events such as One Nation, Breakin Science, and Innovation. Their 2014 collaboration with Skrillex opened them up to a whole new audience.
For some time now Deman Rockers, one half of the Ragga Twins duo, been experiencing mobility problems. Last month he took a fall outside his home, and was admitted to hospital. During this latest admission the medical professionals caring for him discovered a longstanding condition affecting his spine, that they’d not been previously aware of.
An operation to repair damage was swiftly carried out by our brilliant NHS, but Deman has been left bedbound and unable to perform shows. The long-term prognosis is uncertain.
