American singer Colonel Abrams has died at the age of 67.

The star, whose 1985 hit Trapped reached number three in the UK, had been living homeless in New York.

His death was announced on Facebook by DJ Tony ‘Tune’ Herbert, who said: “Just got word that Colonel Abrams has past away on Thanksgiving, one year to the date that I and a host of his biggest fans fought to get him to let us help him.

“Now he is at peace and our condolences go out to his family, and fans world wide, he is no longer suffering or Trapped!!!”

His friends had tried to help him last year after it emerged he was homeless.

Father Abraham was the smurf man, not The Colonel.

RIP.
