Songwriter Warren Harry - also known as Warren Bacall - has died at the age of 54. His death on 9 Mar was unexpected, despite years of poor health, the result of a pulmonary embolism following an asthma attack. The musician had his own band in the seventies, and subsequently wrote songs for Bucks Fizz, John Otway and Anthony Newley. He had recently finished a new solo album.
His funeral will be held today in West Glamorgan, where he lived with his partner Annie Whittaker, and a memorial will take place at Granborough Church on Thursday, and his ashes will be interred at Aylesbury Cemetery, beside his mother and father. Family have asked for no flowers, but donations to the Performing Right Society Members Fund would be gratefully received.
