It's a sad day in the Totally '80s universe with the news that Tony Lewis, singer and bass player of the Outfield, has died. He was just 62 years old. He died "suddenly and unexpectedly" today near London, according to a statement from publicist Bari Lieberman. The cause of death has not been revealed.

"It is with great sadness and sorrow to announce that Tony Lewis has unexpectedly passed away," was the message shared on Lewis' social media. "He was a beautiful soul who touched so many lives with his love, his spirit, and his music. He loved his fans dearly and enjoyed every opportunity he had when meeting all of you."
