    The British singer-songwriter Colin Vearncombe, better known as Black, has died aged 53 following a car crash.

    Black was best known for his hit Wonderful Life - a top ten hit throughout Europe. The song has been covered frequently and used in adverts several times - in fact, a cover by Katie Melua currently features in a Premier Inn advert.
