Bruce Williamson Jr., the lead singer of the Temptations, has died from the coronavirus. He was 49.
The soul singer died Sunday night at his home in Las Vegas, TMZ reported.
Williamson, who was not an original member, joined the Temptations in 2006 and sang with the group until 2015.

Kinda reminds me of Sam and Dave. Dave was not the real Dave.
Pre-existing conditions?
RIP
Dude was a big, overweight guy.
Actor John Candy died when he was 43. Both his brother and father died early.
Some folks are destined to die early
At first I thought it said Bruce Dickinson! Then this thread would have been all cowbell.
Well, I'd say so. Only one original member is left.
Sad to see them gone. When I hear rap "music" I think of the Temptations and the Four Tops and wonder, "WTF happened?" That Motown music on Armed Forces Radio was one of the bright spots of a nasty year in Southeast Asia. I'll never forget The Temptations.
But what was Williamson's underlying condition? They always leave that out.
I think both the Temptations and Four Tops only have one original member each.
Only 9 thousand people have died from just Covid.
I hope Boss Scaggs is doing okay. I heard he might be down with something. I just heard “Look What She Done To Me” on the radio. Good song but is it Yacht Rock?
Being an unhealthy person is what killed him. Obesity for sure, and probably diabetes and hypertension.
It makes me so angry that our government has yet to scream from the rooftops how obesity vastly increases your complications and death from COVID.
But then that would piss off Coca Cola, McDonalds, Nabisco, General Mills, and all their other donors who make crap food. So political correctness wins again.
LOL, the same government that listened to the original "Fauci" Ancel Keys back in the 50s, and designed that Food Pyramid?
Yes, they do. See post 11.
RIP.
It would probably be more accurate to say that he died with Covid-19. My wife’s brother had an inoperable cancerous brain tumor and was on hospice care. When he died they said his cause of death was “presumptive covid-19”. No tests were ever done to confirm it...they were not available to anyone but politicians, celebrities and health care workers at the time. No one in the family has ever tested positive. It was total BS and I have been mistrustful of the death statistics on Covid ever since.
On youtube I recently discovered some incredible music with Scaggs and Duane Allman. If you’ve never heard it look it up.
Then I discovered Duane and Clapton. Wow.
Very early in this pandemic, Dr Birx listed 3 or 4 few comorbidities that seemed to have the strongest relationship to dying from the C Virus. Obesity was one of them. I never heard any person in a position of authority mention obesity again. I guess that wouldn’t have been politically correct. The USA has the highest rate of obesity of any country in the world except for 11 small islands whose total population is less than one million.
Oh stop it,.....a couple of those companies have been around over 100 years and have great products. Too much food and not enough exercise is the primary cause of obesity.
.
Along with 94% of “Covid” deaths, this guy probably would have been dead within 6 months even if he did not have Covid.
