Singer Nameless has paid tribute to his friend the late Esir who passed on 18 years ago.

He was only 22 years old and was doing so well in the music industry.

He died of a road accident while returning to Nairobi from a concert in Nakuru.

Recounting on the fateful day, Nameless shared a photo from a visit he had on Sunday with a few other artistes.

They took flowers on his grave on Sunday watered the grave and prayed together.

Nameless shared an emotional tribute recounting on how death took his friend and how tough it was for him to inform Esir's parents that he was not able to save her son.

He wrote;

'Went to visit Esir's grave with afew close friends and family! Exactly 18years ago On that fateful Sunday morning after an amazing show in Nakuru as we were driving back to Nairobi for another gig the car lost control and we lost you and Kevin.

It still hurts to just remember that moment because it didn't make sense. We had had the best show together that night as we started touring together. We knew we were taking over the industry!we could feel it!! We knew we were synergized as a team. We knew we were on to something big .then just like that you left!! It was so hard to go meet your mum and tell her I couldn't save you! She trusted me as your big brother to always take care of each other in the industry😓🙏🏿💔!! Still doesn't make sense 💔but I will always carry your postive vibe in me and my music.

Nameless added that to date he meets people who tell him how painful it was to loose Esir even if they had never met him.

You were such a positive influence to those around you and those that knew of you. You continue to inspire new generations of artists! You did so much in such a short time! This year you would have been turning 40🙏🏿...I can only imagine what it would have been like to celebrate the fourth floor with you 🙏🏿...rest well bro!! We continue to celebrate you! #EsirForever #18yearsmemorial #16march2003 we lost a friend, a brother, a leader an amazing artist a KenyanIcon. !!
