British Pop Star Nick Kamen Dead At 59
Nick Kamen, best known for the hits ‘Each Time You Break My Heart’ and ‘Loving You is Sweeter Than Ever’, has died at age 59.
Kamen had been suffering bone marrow cancer for many years.
‘Each Time You Break My Hearted’ was written by Madonna. The track was a left-over from Madonna’s third album ‘True Blue’. It didn’t make the album so Madonna gifted it to Kamen. She also sang backing vocals on his song. It reached no 5 in the UK.
The Madonna version has never officially been released but is easily found on YouTube.
