Colin Gibb, a member of the band Black Lace, has passed away at the age of 70. His wife, Sue Kelly, shared the sad news on Facebook. They were planning to retire to Spain soon.

After the band split in 1981, Colin and Alan Barton continued as a duo. They released songs like "Gang Bang," "Chicken Dance," and "I Am the Music Man." Their biggest hit was "Agadoo," which reached No. 2 in the UK and was a success across Europe. Colin announced his retirement last month and was looking forward to his final concert in Tenerife. Despite facing challenges, Black Lace continued to tour and perform at various events. Colin's dedication to the band was remarkable, and he will be missed by many. Colin's passing is a great loss to his family, friends, and fans. He will be remembered for his contributions to Black Lace and the joy his music brought to many people.
