Colin Gibb, singer with Black Lace, dies aged 70
Musician who had huge 1984 hit with Agadoo had retired last month
His wife Sue Kelly announced the news on Facebook, writing: “I love you Colin … we were due to retire to Spain on Thursday, you were so happy, so looking forward to our new life, now you’re gone. Cheerfully unfashionable and informed by the crowdpleasing sounds of glam rock and Euro-disco, this incarnation of Black Lace found vast success. They returned to the UK Top 10 with their next single Do the Conga, and later had minor hits with cover versions of children’s songs such as I Am the Music Man and Hokey Cokey, as well as the Sweet’s glam classic Wig-Wam Bam.
