Rock Singer Robert Palmer Dies at Age 54
2 minutes ago
LONDON - Rock singer Robert Palmer died Friday in Paris of a heart attack, his manager said. He was 54.
Manager Mick Cater, speaking from Paris, said he had no further details immediately.
Palmer, whose hits included "Addicted to Love," was on a two-day break in Paris following a TV recording session in Britain, Cater said.
The son of a British naval officer, Palmer was a member of several British rock bands before he hit the big time as a solo artist.
In the 1980s he became a superstar with singles which also included "Simply Irresistible" ? accompanied by slick videos featuring the sharply dressed Palmer and a bevy of attractive women.
A side project, Power Station, formed in 1985 with John Taylor and Andy Taylor of '80s supergroup Duran Duran, scored three U.S. Top 10 hits, including "Communication" and "Get it On."
