Celebrated English tenor dies at 42

Celebrated English tenor dies at 42

The vocal quartet G4 have made public the death of their former low tenor, Ben Thapa.  No cause has been shared. Ben was known to have been hospitalised last month with kidney disease.

G4 say: ‘Words cannot express how we all feel right now. We understand that this will be heartbreaking news for so many others too and we send you our love and support as we all remember the amazing man and memories that he has left behind. Ben has been such a major part of the international singing community and he was a critical part of our journey as a group. Thank you for your love at this difficult time. RIP Ben’

Thapa left G4 in 2018 to concentrate on his operatic career. He was due to sing next week in an Anglo-German production of Mozart’s  Magic Flute.
