Soul II Soul singer Melissa Bell has died, her daughter Alexandra Burke has revealed today. The 53-year-old, from London, passed away after a long battle with kidney failure, which was brought on by diabetes. Strictly Come Dancing contestant and former X Factor winner, Burke, added her mother, who was a member of the Grammy-winning group, would have wanted her to continue on with the competition show. A statement from the Burke family said Bell died on August 28 and paid tribute to her 'unconditional love, support, charisma, strength and courage'.
