The Child Of Lov dies at the age of 26
Experimental pop musician The Child Of Lov has died at the age of 26.
The Belgium-born Dutch singer-songwriter, who released his debut album earlier this year, passed away on 10 December through complications from surgery. His manager confirmed the news to NME.
The following statement has been released:
“On behalf of the family and as his manager I must announce That Martijn Teerlinck aka Cole Williams aka The Child of Lov aka Sun Patzer is no longer with us. He lived a life of struggle and can now rest peacefully.
“In his own words: “When I was younger, I had a tough time physically. I have seen too many hospital beds. It made me stronger. Makes You Realize death is always near, for anyone. And what a wonderful thing life is and how grateful we should be.”
Martijn Teerlinck (better known as Cole Williams) has previously worked with the likes of Blur’s Damon Albarn and was due to perform at State-X in The Hague this weekend.
