Madonna’s prot\u00e9g\u00e9 and Levi’s launderette model, Nick Kamen has died at the age of 59 after a secret battle with bone marrow cancer.<\/p>\n

The Essex-born model, real name Ivor Neville Kamen, who was also a singer, died on Monday night, May 3, at his \u00a31million flat in Notting Hill, West London.<\/p>\n

Kamen had suffered from cancer for two years and was being nursed by his girlfriend, Lucinda, his older brother, Ronald Kamen, 65, told MailOnline today.<\/p>\n

He said: ‘His breathing was very shallow and he knew what was coming. He did fight it very hard. I was with him a few days ago.<\/p>\n

\u2018We have been able to see him, but only one at at time due to the pandemic. That made things a lot worse but he did have the cancer before all the lockdowns.\u2019<\/p>\n

Ronald, from Oxford, said his younger brother had undergone a full blood transfusion as part of his treatment.<\/p>\n

\u2018Sadly, the cancer was not caught in time. His girlfriend Lucinda who lived with him in Notting Hill will be speaking for the family.’<\/p>\n

Tchaik Chassay, 62, who lives above Mr Kamen, told MailOnline: ‘I last saw Nick about four months ago and he said it was a miracle that he’s still alive.<\/p>\n

‘He was very weak but I was delighted to see him going for a walk with Lucinda but he barely managed to stay on his feet.’<\/p>\n

He added: ‘Nick was a wonderful man and everybody around here knew him. He didn’t speak much about his days as a singer and to be honest, I wasn’t that interested. I just liked him for who he was.’<\/p>\n

One neighbour said: ‘Nick knew he was dying for quite some time and Lucinda was a great comfort to him.<\/p>\n

‘Nick came from quite a large family and a lot of them would come to visit him too. He had a fantastic life but we will all miss<\/a> him.’<\/p>\n

Friends have taken to social media to pay tributes to the model.<\/p>\n

Duran Duran wrote: ‘So so sad to hear of the passing of Nick Kamen. One of the loveliest and gentlest men I ever met. He was a beloved friend to my daughter and her Mom. We shall all miss him. RIP Nick’.<\/p>\n

Comedian Matt Lucas tweeted: ‘If you didn’t have a crush on Nick Kamen in the 80s, you probably weren’t there. RIP.’<\/p>\n

And director Mark Lebon wrote: ‘RIP MY DEAR FRIEND’<\/p>\n

The model was best known for starring in a 1985 Levis 501 commercial, in which he famously stripped off in a launderette, sending sales of the jeans soaring by 500% as demand failed to match supply.<\/p>\n

Following the success of the advert, he collaborated with Madonna on the song \u201cEach Time You Break My Heart\u201d.<\/p>\n

Madonna co-wrote the song with Stephen Bray and, in 1986, told BBC radio she had requested the duet after being inspired by the model\u2019s \u201ccharisma\u201d and \u201cbeautiful voice\u201d.<\/p>\n

Kamen went on to release four LPs between 1987 and 1992. His other songs include Honey, I Shrunk the Kids soundtrack song \u201cTurn It Up\u201d (1989) and 1990\u2019s \u201cI Promised Myself\u201d.<\/p>\n

He also dated famous women including the actress<\/a> Talisa Soto and supermodel Tatjana Patitz. He embarked on a romance with TV presenter Amanda de Cadenet from 1999 to 2001, after which he adopted a lower profile and was rarely seen in public.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
