It’s with great sadness to confirm the death of influential soul singer Bobby Womack.
Womack - who released his latest album The Bravest Man In The Universe in 2012 - had suffered from colon cancer and was recently diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. He was 70 years of age.
Meanwhile, Womack’s final studio album - entitled The Best Is Yet To Come - is expected to be released by XL Recordings later this year.
