Barely Breathing’ singer dies aged just 56
Duncan Sheik, the voice behind one of the most unforgettable songs of the 1990s, and arguably the soundtrack to the summer of 1996, has died aged just 56.
The singer-songwriter, best known for his ’96 hit Barely Breathing, reportedly passed away last week on Thursday, September 17, in Manhattan.
His mother, Suzanne Sheik, confirmed to The New York Times that he died from heart failure that led to cardiac arrest. Sheik had been receiving medical care in the days leading up to his death, with a statement from his family saying he was in “critical but stable” condition just one day before he died
