Celebrated vocalist and founding member of the reggae band UB40 Terence Wilson, better known by his stage name Astro, has died after a short illness, his current band confirmed.
"We are absolutely devastated and completely heartbroken to have to tell you that our beloved Astro has today passed away after a very short illness," a statement on Ali Campbell and Astro's Twitter account said on Saturday. "The world will never be the same without him."
Astro was part of UB40 for more than 3 decades, before leaving the band to join breakaway group UB40 featuring Ali Campbell in 2013.
UB40 formed in the late 1970s, is popular for hits like "Red red wine" and Can't help falling In love."
