Carlos Marin, of the quartet Il Divo, has passed away at the age of 53. The CNN article below says that the cause of death has not been made public. But, I heard, yesterday, that he was hospitalized in the U.K. with Covid. So, I'm not absolutely sure of that. A group of us have plans to see them perform in early February. My guess is that performance will not take place. www.cnn.com/2021/12/20/entertainment/il-divo-carlos-marin-dead-intl-scli/index.html

I'm pretty shocked by this. I like Il Divio so followed the news as it broke here in the UK. He is pictured at a performance in the city of Bath on the 6th and is reported to have been hospitalised the next day in Manchester when it was confirmed he had covid. He was placed in to a coma but died 12 days later. It's reported he had been vaccinated when staying in Mexico but it's not stated which vaccine or how many doses.

Sig, thank you for filling in some of the details.
Il Divo has been scheduled to perform in San Jose, CA., in early February. A group of former colleagues have planned to attend. Yesterday, one of them texted us that Mr. Marin was hospitalized in the U.K., with Covid, and followed last evening with a text that he had passed away.
My thoughts are with Mr. Marin's family, and with his very talented partners.
