I've just been reading this on the BBC web site. Sad news!
It said that he had liver cancer and died at his home in the Bahamas with his family beside him.
Apparently Hot Chocolate were the only band to have a hit every year from 1970 to 1984, a run of 15 years.
He didn't retire until 2009 so was still performing in concerts at the age of 65.

Very sad news. Hot Chocolate made a lot of good music; their hit "You sexy thing" is probably amongst my all time top 10 favourite songs.

15 years at the top is some achievement.

Sad news.
"You Sexy Thing" and "Everyone's A Winner" are both fabulous records, made brilliant by the driving bass sound and the smoothy vocals of Errol.
Both records were around during my musical formative years, and Hot Chocolate were one of the early bands with both black and white musicians.
Rest in peace Errol Brown.
