(Filed: 06/11/2003)
Bobby Hatfield, half of the Righteous Brothers duo, has died at the age of 63, hours before he was due to go on stage.
The singer, who was on tour with singing partner Bill Medley, was found dead in his hotel room after he failed to respond to a wake up call.
His manager David Cohen said that the cause of death was not yet known. He said that Medley was "broken up. He's not even coherent".
The duo were best known for their hits You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling and Unchained Melody. They were inducted into the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame in the US earlier this year.
