I was very sorry to hear this - Fernando and his music were much loved by many. He was also a personal friend of Mr C so I'd met him a couple of times.

He was disabled and had some health problems.

CPR will not bring someone back from the dead. A massive heart attack will kill you even if it happens in the nearest emergency room. Diabetes and heart disease go hand in glove.

This guy died while getting ready to perform/ sing which was something he was obviously very passionate about and loved to do. What a great way to go.
RIP.
