Iconic Vocalist Diane Charlemagne Dies Age 51

• 28th Oct 2015

Iconic Moss Side singer Diane Charlemagne has passed away this afternoon, Wednesday 28th October, surrounded by her family after losing her brave battle with cancer aged 51.

The release of her last record ‘It’s In Your Eyes’ featuring Andy Rourke of The Smiths and remixed by Youth, will go ahead on November 20th as planned, with the proceeds going to Diane’s family.

‘It’s In Your Eyes’ is a slice of sophisticated urban soul featuring Diane and Simon Wolstencroft, long term member of The Fall and Ian Brown’s drummer. Strings come courtesy of ex-Elbow and I Am Kloot’s Jote Osahn, making this a real Mancunian tour de force.

Diane was best known for providing vocals for many major dance music hits and was a long term fixture of Moby’s live show.
