Fiancé of British ‘X-Factor’ star dies on their wedding day: ‘I am completely broken’

The fiancée of British singer Tom Mann (28), who participated in ‘X-Factor’ in 2014, passed away last weekend. He made this known on social media. The two have a son, Bowie, who is eight months old.

“I can’t believe I am writing these words but my darling Dani – my best friend, my everything and more, the love of my life – passed away in the early hours of Saturday morning, 18th June. On what was supposed to be the happiest day of our lives ended in irreversible heartbreak,” Tom Mann said on Monday. The singer took part in the British version of ‘X-Factor’ in 2014 and reached the final with the group Stereo Kicks. Since 2015, he has been in a couple with 34-year-old Danielle. The two have an eight-month-old son, Bowie, together. Normally they would tie the knot on Saturday, after a long engagement. But what was to be the happiest day of their lives turned into a nightmare.

“I feel like I have cried an ocean” Mann continued. “We never made it to the alter; or got to say our vows, or dance our first dance, but I know you know that you were my entire world and the best thing that has ever happened to me, Danielle. I will wear this ring that I was always supposed to wear as a sign of my unconditional love to you.” Mann promised that he would stay strong for their son. “I promise I will do my everything to raise Bowie just the way we always wanted. I promise you he will know how amazing his mummy was. I promise to make you so so proud.” He concluded his message with: “My darling Dani, the brightest light in any room, my world is nothing but darkness without you. I will miss you forever.”

It is not known how 34-year-old Danielle died. She was known to be in excellent health. After Mann’s message, the messages of support poured in. For example, Nadine Coyle of the band Girls Aloud said: “I send so much love, light and healing to you, Bowie and everyone who loved Dani.” And singer Lewis Capaldi, for whom Mann has already written songs, also said: “I love you, brother.”
