UB40 saxophonist and co-songwriter Brian Travers, one of the founding members of the chart-topping reggae group, has died at the age of 62.
His bandmates said they were "devastated" by the news about "our comrade, brother, founding UB40 member and musical legend".
They said he had endured a "long and heroic battle with cancer".
He had surgery to remove two brain tumours in 2019 and reportedly had another operation earlier this year.
