UB40 chart-topper Astro has passed away suddenly, according to a statement released by the band.
The star, who was 64, is believed to have suffered from a short illness.
He passed away on Saturday (November 6).
Real name Terrence Wilson, Astro was a founding member of the Birmingham-based reggae band.
He is the second member of UB40 to pass away this year, following the death of saxophonist Brian Travers in August.
Singer Astro left UB40 in 2013 – along with the other founding member Ali Campbell – to form a new band ‘UB40 featuring Ali Campbell and Astro’.
