ALL BY MYSELF ARTIST, ERIC CARMEN DIES AT AGED  74 


 Eric Carmen an American singer and songwriter known for hit song All By Myself, has died at the age of  74, his wife has announced.


The star rose to fame with the power pop group the Raspberries before establishing himself as a solo ARTIST.


He co-founded the Raspberries in the early 1970s alongside Jim Bonfanti and Wally Bryson, who were later joined by Dave Smalley after the departure of John Aleksic.


After four albums together, the band broke up in 1975 with Carmen then embarking on a solo career.


Among the solo tracks he is most well-known for is All By Myself, which later became one of Canadian singer Celine Dion's most iconic hits when she covered it.


"Our sweet, loving and talented Eric passed away in his sleep, over the weekend," Carmen's wife Amy said in a statement on his official website.


"It brought him great joy to know, that for decades, his music touched so many and will be his lasting legacy."


She ended the statement with the quote "love is all that matters... faithful and forever" from his 1977 solo album Boats Against The Current. 


As a songwriter, Carmen had hits including Almost Paradise from the Footloose soundtrack, as well as Never Gonna Fall In Love Again and Make Me Lose Control.
