Alvin Stardust Dies Aged 72
Singer Alvin Stardust, best known for hits such as My Coo Ca Choo, has died after a short illness aged 72.
His manager Andy Davies said: "Alvin and I had only started working together over the last couple of years because he and I believed that musically he still had a great deal to give and explore, and so we recorded an album that is a testament to an artist who gave his career to music.
"I may not have known him long but even in that short time he proved to be one of the most genuine and likeable men I've ever met. His passing is a huge and sad loss."
Born Bernard Jewry in 1942, his hits included I Feel Like Buddy and Jealous Mind.
