What illness did Carlos Marin have?
After falling ill with Covid Carlos was taken to the Manchester Royal Hospital on 8 December. El Espanol reported that although he was in a serious condition his organs were stable.
Days later Il Divo announced a delay to all performances until 2022 down to band “illness” but gave no further details.
In a statement, they said: “Unfortunately, due to illness, the remaining dates for Il Divo’s December 2021 UK tour have been postponed until December 2022.
“Il Divo are deeply sorry to their fans, but look forward to returning to the road in the new year and seeing you all in the run up to next Christmas.”
On 19 December the group confirmed that Carlos had passed away, writing: “He will be missed by his friends, family and fans. There will never be another voice or spirit like Carlos.
“For 17 years the four of us have been on this incredible journey of Il Divo together, and we will miss our dear friend.
“We hope and pray that his beautiful soul will rest in peace. With Love — David, Sebastien and Urs.”
