Colin Vearncombe non ce l'ha fatta. Non è sopravvissuto le conseguenze del terribile incidente che lo ha coinvolto lo scorso 10 gennaio mentre era in Irlanda.
Con il singolo "Wonderful Life", risalente al 1987, conquistò il mondo intero scalando tutte le classifiche mondiali. Colin Vearncombe, in arte Black, è morto all'età di 53 anni e la notizia è stata resa pubblica attraverso un post sulla su pagina ufficiale Facebook dell'artista.
"We’re deeply saddened to announce the death of Colin Vearncombe (aka Black) earlier today, Tuesday 26th January 2016. Colin never regained consciousness following a road traffic accident sixteen days ago. He died peacefully surrounded by his family who were singing him on his way. His wife Camilla and his three sons paid tribute to the staff at the Intensive Treatment Unit of Cork University Hospital saying; “Colin received the best possible care from the expert and highly professional staff there and we are deeply grateful for everything they did”.
"The funeral will be a private one, but we will be holding a memorial service for him in Liverpool in the near future as we know there are many, many people who will want to celebrate Colin’s life and work. The date and time will be announced in due course, along with details of a charity to which any donations in memory of Colin can be made. No need to laugh or cry. It’s a wonderful, wonderful life."
