Boney M singer Bobby Farrell dead in hotel room | The Daily Telegraph

BOBBY Farrell, the man who made Daddy Cool and Rasputin disco hits in the 1970s, from hit group Boney M, has been found dead in his hotel while on tour in Russia. The 61-year-old singer performed as scheduled in St Petersburg on Wednesday night, but complained of breathing problems before and after his show, according to agent John Seine.
The cause of his death was not immediately clear, according to Sergei Kapitanov, a representative of St. Petersburg's branch of Russia's investigative committee.
Boney M - consisting of Farrell, Maisie Williams, Liz Mitchell and Marcia Barrett - were one of the most successful bands of the late 1970s with Farrell becoming famed for his lip-synching as much as his dancing in the disco band.
