Funeral For A Friend: Today We Bid Farewell To Deane Cameron

By FYI Staff

Canada’s music industry and inbound foreign dignitaries, along with longstanding friends and family, gather this afternoon at Roy Thomson Hall to pay tribute to Deane Cameron, CM, affectionately known to many as Captain Canada.


The funeral service at the concert hall is expected to include several eulogies from notables, and performances by one or more artists whose careers have been enhanced through his encouragement and position as a long-standing executive at what was once known as Capitol-EMI of Canada.

The extraordinary outpouring of emotions felt by the music community is well documented. Today, we offer the final salute to the man whose kindness, generosity, and profound love of music, made him a legend in his own time.

J. Cole Reveals Kendrick Lamar Had Two Features on Early Version of ‘The Fall-Off’: ‘Somebody Leaked It’

J. Cole pulled up on Cam’ron’s Talk With Flee this week, where he revealed that Kendrick Lamar originally had a pair of features on an earlier version of The Fall-Off. Unfortunately, Cole pivoted after the tracks were leaked.

“I had The Fall-Off finished. I probably had to tweak a couple of mixes,” Cole said. “At that time, I had been working on The Fall-Off, which was done, and by the way, somebody leaked it. I know who leaked it — it’s cool he put it out there. [Kendrick] was on two joints.”
