Amy, Carmen’s wife, made the singer’s demise public on her official website. “We are deeply saddened to inform you of Eric Carmen’s untimely death,” said Amy Carmen.

Carmen’s unique, rich, high tenor voice helped him become well-known and earn chart success for a four-decade music career. With singles like “Go All the Way” and “Let’s Pretend,” Carmen and his Raspberries bandmates laid the foundation for the enduring power pop music that would emerge after the band’s dissolution.

The sensual power ballads that characterized Carmen’s solo career included “Never Gonna Fall in Love Again,” “She Did It,” “Hungry Eyes,” “Make Me Lose Control,” and of course “All By Myself.” These songs became internet sensations and became classics.
