Update (14.52)
Op de site van BBC is iets m??r informatie te lezen:

He had been in the French capital on a two-day break with partner Mary Ambrose, after recording a TV appearance in the UK.
His manager said he suffered the heart attack in the early hours of Friday morning.
The Yorkshire-born singer had recently been on tour of Europe to promote his latest album Drive.
Palmer had been performing since the early 1970s, playing in bands including Mandrake Paddle Steamer and Dada, featuring Elkie Brooks. He was also a member of 1980s supergroup Power Station, which also included members of Duran Duran. But it was it was during the 1980s that he achieved mainstream recognition.
His solo album Riptide produced the top five hit Addicted to Love, which was backed with one of rock music’s most famous videos. It featured Palmer backed by a band featuring identically-dressed woman, who were also made up to look the same.
