Family of Guys ‘N’ Dolls singer Dominic Grant said he passed away at the age of 71.

A statement issued on behalf of the late Dominic’s wife reads: “It is with great sadness that I must tell you that I lost my beloved Dominic, suddenly on Wednesday 18 November, due to an abdominal aortic aneurysm.

“He was a wonderful husband, father, brother and new found. My heart is broken.

“He was gentle, strong, and enduring the life and spirit of the party. His distinct and beautiful voice would last forever – I would never have loved him more nor knew exactly what our family would do without him … He was our shining star.”

Dominic is best known for being part of Guys ‘N’ Dolls, a hit pop group in the 1970s.

He was Bruce Forsyth’s son-in-law

He was also a son-in-law to late host Bruce Forsyth, who was Julia Forsyth’s father-in-law.

Julia was also in the band, which started gaining huge following in the late 1970s.

Their singles include There’s A Lot of Love You Shouldn’t Say You Love Me, and they both break into the UK’s top 10.
