Flying Pickets' singer Brian Hibbard has died at the age of 65.
The actor and singer passed away this morning, his talent agency confirmed to Wales Online.
Hibbard became famous as the lead singer of the chart-topping Flying Pickets before pursuing his acting career.
The band’s hit Only You was number one in the charts in 1983 for five weeks.
After he left the group in 1986, Hibbard had an extensive acting career. He played Doug Murray in Coronation Street from 1992 to 1993 and went on to appear in other soaps, including Emmerdale as Bobby-John Downes and Johnny Mac in the long-running series Pobol y Cwm, a welsh language drama.
He also appeared in 1997 movie Twin Town and the following year's Rancid Aluminium.
In the period prior to his death he had also appeared in Eastenders, Doctors and Casualty, and was a stalwart of Welsh pantomimes in recent years.
