Former Mega City Four frontman Darren 'Wiz' Brown has died suddenly from a blood clot on the brain. The forty four year old singer was taken ill during a rehearsal earlier this week, and passed away at St Georges Hospital in Tooting on Wednesday.
At the time of his death, Brown was living back in his hometown of Farnborough, and working on material for an album from his new band Ipanema. He had recently completed a successful tour. Mega City Four, consisting of Brown, his guitarist brother Danny, bassist Gerry Bryant and drummer Chris Jones, first gained notoriety in the late eighties, releasing six studio albums between 1989 and 1996.
