Bobby Farrell, lead singer of the 1970s disco group Boney M, has died at the age of 61, his agent has announced.
The singer was found dead in a hotel room in St Petersburg, Russia where he had been performing, John Seine said.
Farrell, he continued, had complained of breathing problems before and after the show on Wednesday. The cause of his death has yet to be established.
Farrell, the only male member of the popular four-piece, had been due to perform in Italy on New Year’s Eve.
