Some times, you think that some people should live forever.. and that's what I thought of Roger Whittaker. Not only a Unique singer but one of the nicest people on the planet....Ironically he died on the anniversary of mums death
R.I.P Roger...
Roger Whittaker, one of the UK's most celebrated folk music singers and best-known as an expert whistler, has died aged 87.
A family statement, reported by German media outlet Bild, confirmed he died on September 13 in a hospital in southern France.
Whittaker was famed for hits including Durham Town, New World In The Morning and a version of Wind Beneath My Wings.
He went on to achieve great success in folk music clubs and saw further fame when he collaborated with Des O'Connor for the Skye Boat Song in 1986.
'Roger was an iconic artist, a wonderful husband and father. He touched so many hearts with his music throughout his life and will always live on in our memories,' the family statement said.
South African born, lived most of his life here in the UK.. he retired after a heart attack in 2012, and lived since then in France
I know @Gary O' is a fan too...
