Richard Darbyshire, the former frontman of 80s pop band Living In A Box, has died at the age of 65.
Formed in Sheffield, the band achieved global success with their debut single, “Living In A Box,” in 1987, and had two additional UK top 10 hits. Darbyshire’s soulful vocals were particularly noted on the ballad “Room In Your Heart,” but he departed from the band in 1989 due to artistic conflicts during their third album’s production. After a solo album in 1994, he wrote songs for artists like Lisa Stansfield and Level 42.
