Patrick Gibson, vocalist and drummer for the group has died, reportedly from the coronavirus. The France-based trio scored on charts around the world in the late 70s with the dance hits "Cuba" and "Que Sera Mi Vida".

John Prine, a wry and perceptive writer whose songs often resembled vivid short stories, died Tuesday in Nashville from complications related to COVID-19. His death was confirmed by his publicist, on behalf of his family. He was 73 years old.
