Singer Bobby Caldwell has died at the age of 71.
The news was announced in a post shared by his official Twitter account, containing a statement from Caldwell’s wife, Mary.
“Bobby passed away here at home,” she said. “I held him tight in my arms as he left us. I am forever heartbroken.
“Thanks to all of you for your many prayers over the years. He had been ‘Floxed,’ it took his health over the last 6 years and 2 months. Rest with God, my Love.”
“Floxing” is a term used to describe when a body sustains mitochondrial damage and oxidative stress after taking the antibiotic fluoroquinolone.
Last year, it was reported that Caldwell had suffered a bad reaction to an antibiotic in 2017, which led to a rupturing of his Achilles tendon, and nerve damage.
Caldwell is best known for his 1978 single “What You Won’t Do for Love”, which featured on his self-titled debut album.
