AFP: Spanish flamenco starEnrique Morente dead at 67: family: "One of Spain's leading flamenco singers, Enrique Morente, died Monday at a Madrid hospital where he had been in coma following an operation for an ulcer, his family said. He was 67.
'After several days of a tough struggle against death, Enrique Morente, a unique performer and a wonderful person, has left an enormous void in our hearts and in the world of music, to which he devoted himself entirely and with delivery throughout his life,' his family said in a statement.
Morente had been in a coma since he underwent emergency surgery at La Luz private hospital on December 6, just two days after having the ulcer operation.
Earlier on Monday his family had said the singer had been diagnosed as brain dead although his vital signs were stable.
Criticised by some of his peers for having played with musicians from other musical styles, his admirers hail his constant efforts to modernise the centuries-old musical style that has come to represent Spain."
