Mudbugclub Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Reg Presley, lead singer of 60s British rock band The Troggs, has died aged 71. The frontman died at his home in Hampshire surrounded by his family, his daughter Karen said. The Troggs had a number of hit songs, including Wild Thing and Love Is All Around, which was covered in the 1990s with huge success by Wet Wet Wet. Presley had announced his retirement from music a year ago after being taken ill during a concert in Germany and being diagnosed with lung cancer. http://www.thisdayinmusic.com/pages/reg_presley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
