Gospel singer Derek Wade from The Wades has died aged 47. The father-of-four passed away early this morning in hospital.
He suffered a heart attack yesterday afternoon and was rushed to Lewisham Hopsital where he had another heart attack late last night.
The Wades formed in the late 1980s, and are credited with pioneering British gospel's movement into RB.
Speaking to Premier Denis Wade paid tribute to his younger brother:
