Tragedy has struck reggae legend and dub innovator Lee "Scratch" Perry, whose recording studio was destroyed in a fire.
Located in Switzerland, Perry's Secret Laboratory Studio (also known as Blue Ark) was reportedly destroyed after he forgot to put out a candle.

In the late '70s, Perry's studio the Black Ark also burned to the ground. The artist has often insisted that he burned it down himself.
