Singer Colin Vearncombe in coma ‘needs a miracle’ to pull out

Musician Colin Vearncombe, known as Black, will need “a miracle” if he is to pull out of a coma after a car accident in Cork, his management has said.

The singer from Liverpool, who had a global hit in 1987 with ‘Wonderful Life’, suffered swelling on his brain after sustaining a serious head injury in a crash on Sunday, January 10, near Cork Airport.

The 53-year-old has been in intensive care since. In an online update, the singer’s management said his wife Camilla and three sons, who have been at his bedside since the accident, hoped people would send positive healing and energy to him.
