The singer Alexandra Burke announced the death of her mother of Soul Soul Soul Soul, Melissa Bell. The 53-year-old member of the Grammy winning group, died after a nine-year battle with renal failure, caused by diabetes. A statement from the Burke family said that Bell died on August 28 and paid tribute to his "unconditional love, support, charisma, strength and courage." In 2013, Burke revealed she was looking after her mother, who was on dialysis that saved her life eight hours a day. She also began to raise the profile of organ donation after Ms Bell refused to take her daughter’s. In a joint interview four years ago, Burke said: ‘I’ve tried three or four times. But Mum made the choice and shut down the discussion because the doctors said it could mean I wouldn’t be able to conceive.
‘She didn’t want to restrict me from having my own life. But I was willing to adopt because I want to do that anyway.’ Ms Bell said that asking her famous daughter to give away a kidney would be ‘downright wicked and selfish’. Burke responded by telling her, ‘I don’t think it would be a selfish choice. It’s been offered to you. I’m your daughter. Take it!’.
