Hot Chocolate’s Errol Brown Dies Aged 71

Last week we saw the sad passing of Ben E King, this week news has emerged that Hot Chocolate lead singer Errol Brown has died aged 71 at his home in the Bahamas, according to reports from his manager.

Brown, who was the lead singer of Hot Chocolate, had hits in more than 50 countries worldwide, including You Sexy Thing, It Started with a Kiss and Everyone’s a Winner. He had been struggling with the effects of liver cancer.

A statement from Brown’s manager on Wednesday confirmed the singer’s death:

“Errol Brown MBE passed away in The Bahamas this morning with his wife Ginette and daughters Colette and Leonie by his side of liver cancer,” he said.

“Errol was a lover of life and obviously ‘music!’ I never went into his home, car or a hotel room without music playing. Errol was a ‘Gentle Man’ and was a personal friend of mine who will be sadly missed by everyone who knew him. His greatest legacy is that his music will live on!”

“I’m getting a little older now, you know,” Brown told the BBC in a 2009 interview “It’s hard to pack the suitcase and get back on the road again. But the music will be there, so that won’t go away.”
