Mercury Nominated Rapper Ty Has Died

He had contracted coronavirus...

Mercury nominated rapper Ty has died, it has been confirmed.

The British-Nigerian artist - real name Ben Chijioke - was much loved figure within the UK hip-hop community, both for his warm, outgoing personality and his skills on the mic.

Nominated for the Mercury with his album 'Upwards', he contracted coronavirus earlier this year.

Admitted to hospital, an online fundraising account was set up to aid him, and it was reported earlier in the week that his condition had improved.

Sadly, The Voice has confirmed tonight - May 7th - that Ty has passed away at the age of 47.

Enormously sad news, his passing has prompted a wave of mourning across UK music.

If ever there was a time to discover your new favourite MC, or to re-visit some old classics, it's now.

Milo Gore's 'Green Eyes' Is A Fantastic Piece Of Pop-Edged Indie

New album 'How Do You Cope While Grieving For The Living?' is out on August 20th...

Milo Gore will release new album 'How Do You Cope While Grieving For The Living?' this summer.

The five-piece met while studying at Falmouth University in Cornwall, a quartet brought together by mutual interests and a shared sense of humour.

Each of those elements come to the fore on new single 'Green Eyes', a fizzing piece of pop-edged indie that lights the path for their new album.

'How Do You Cope While Grieving For The Living?' is out on August 20th, and this new single bursts out of the traps with relentless energy.

The video is online now, with Milo Gore commenting:

“The ‘Green Eyes’ music video is about the rise and fall of Milo’s past relationship. The video depicts the story of how he and his girlfriend first met, and consequently, how they drifted apart. The two should have never ended up together - they both had issues with their mental health, issues that were clearly going unchecked. Perhaps that’s what initially brought them together? However, it was sadly the thing that also tore them apart.”

“A video about self-discovery, that eventually ends with a smile, as Robi, the actor who plays Milo, ends up in the same place he had initially met his ex-girlfriend. The song, and the video, are both about learning to be content on your own again. Hindsight is a beautiful thing...”

Little Richard Has Died

Rock 'n' roll pioneer passes away...

Rock 'n' roll pioneer Little Richard has died.

A truly outrageous talent, Little Richard brought black R&B to white America with a series of searing, unforgettable sides, with his technicolour personality exploding on to US TV screens.

A bisexual extrovert whose libidinous songwriting left little to the imagination, hits such as 'Tutti Frutti' immortalised the singer.

Yet beneath this he was a troubled soul - drug addiction pushed him to the brink, before later abandoning rock 'n' roll for the church.

These two leanings - music and spirituality - would wrestle for his soul, with Little Richard moving between them over the subsequent decades.

Returning to music in the 60s, a young Jimi Hendrix cut his teeth in his outfit, with Little Richard remaining a potent, and in-demand stage performer.

Later settling in Nashville, his incredible life included tabloid infamy and a guest spot on Sesame Street.

Rolling Stone broke the news of Little Richard's death a few moments ago - he was 87 years old.
