Carlos Marín, who was part of the British singing group II Divo, died on Sunday at age 53. The cause of death was not revealed; however, he had been hospitalized recently. The group announced his death via its Instagram account. The news of his death comes three days after Spanish news outlet El Pais reported that Marín had been put into a medically induced coma in Manchester Royal Hospital in the U.K. The hospitalization followed what El Pais reported was a weeklong illness Marín was dealing with while on tour in England. The group confirmed this via Twitter. II Divo was formed by music producer Simon Cowell in 2003. Prior to joining the group, he had performed in several stage productions, including “Les Misérables,” “Beauty and the Beast” and “Grease.” II Divo has released 10 studio albums, starting with “II Divo” in 2004 and most recently “For Once in My Life: A Celebration of Motown” in 2021. Marín also released a solo album, “Portrait,” last year. (SD-Agencies) |
