Errol Brown's manager: There was always music around wherever he was
There was always music around wherever he was, Errol Brown's manager said in tribute to the star.
Brown, who is survived by his wife and two daughters, died at home in the Bahamas, Phil Dale said.
Paying tribute to Brown, who was made an MBE in 2003, Mr Dale said he was "a wonderful gentleman".
He added: "There was always music around wherever he was. I've been with him in the middle of Australia and he has got an idea for a song and started writing.
"Errol was a lover of life and obviously music. I never went into his home, car or a hotel room without music playing. And it always played constantly in his dressing room before a concert.
"Errol was a gentleman and was a personal friend of mine who will be sadly missed by everyone who knew him. His greatest legacy is that his music will live on."
