Maurice White Dies: Earth, Wind & Fire Singer Was 74
Maurice White – the singer best known as one of the founding members of the ’70s funk and soul group Earth, Wind & Fire – has passed away at the age of 74.
White had been battling Parkinson’s disease for over two decades, and family and friends say his condition deteriorated rapidly over the past few months.
A member of both the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and the Songwriters Hall of Fame, White won six Grammys as a member of Earth, Wind & Fire and seven for his individual songwriting and recording efforts.
During his time as frontman, the group recorded such international chart-toppers as “Shining Star,” “September,” “Let’s Groove,” and “After the Love has Gone.”
Though Maurice’s illness forced him to stop touring with Earth, Wind & Fire in 1994, he remained involved in the group’s creative decisions until his death.
His younger brother, Verdine White, is still a member of the band.
Maurice leaves behind a wife, two children, and a body of work that’s regarded as one of the most influential to come out of the ’70s R&B scene.
Though news of his death broke just moments ago, tributes from family, friends, fans, and proteges have already made White a trending topic on social media.

Prince Harry Is a Hero, Saves Woman Knocked Over By Gust of Wind
Prepare yourselves, ladies, for Prince Harry has behaved most gallantly today.
The royal traveled up to Bath, England to attend the UK team trials for the 2nd annual Invictus Games.
According to People Magazine, RAF medic Anna Pollock – who suffered a spontaneous spinal bleed left her partially paraplegic – was competing in the cycling event and had a chat with Harry.
“I saw him and thought I’ve got to take the opportunity to ask for a picture,” she told reporters
“I was just putting my gloves back on and sat back in my chair when the wind took me over.”
Harry and few others rushed over to help Pollock back into her chair.
“Harry said to me ‘What did you do that for?!’
“I said, ‘To show you how not to do that!"” Pollock joked.
“He was so lovely to help me and he gives so much. He makes all the lads and the lasses feel important,” she added.
Harry ran into an old comrade, Nathan Cumbeland, with whom he trained for his 2009 tour of Afghanistan.
“It’s always good to see the ginger muppet,” Cumberland joked.
“He doesn’t have to come here but he does and that’s great. It gives everyone a boost,” Cumberland told reporters.
“He’s one of the lads – he’s been there and done it.”
Harry is very involved with helping wounded vets, and last year started the Invictus Games, which brings together injured servicemen and women in a Paralympic-style competition.
This year’s event will take place in Orlando, FL from May 8th-12th.
