The singer’s manager Phil Dale confirmed today (May 6) that Brown passed away at home in the Bahamas.

Brown had suffered from liver cancer.

Dale described Brown as “a wonderful gentleman” and added: “There was always music around wherever he was. I’ve been with him in the middle of Australia and he has got an idea for a song and started writing.”

The singer’s career kicked off in 1969 with a cover version of ‘Give Peace a Chance’, which was released on The Beatles’ Apple label.

Originally given the name The Hot Chocolate Band by a secretary at the company, the group later became Hot Chocolate.
