Back to Reality: Singer Do'Reen Killed

By shane

You might not be familiar with vocalist Doreen Waddell by her name... perhaps not even by her recording name, DO'REEN. But you're quite possibly familiar with her vocals as part of SOUL II SOUL or THE KLF. Sadly, Waddell was struck and killed today by three vehicles on the A27 bypass in Shoreham, West Sussex. But the story gets even sadder: Waddell ran into heavy traffic while being chased by police for allegedly shoplifting from a Tesco supermarket. The road, which had to be closed for nearly 5 hours, was littered with what appeared to be the stolen items. Do'Reen sang lead vocals on two memorable Soul II Soul tracks, "Feel Free" and "Happiness," as well as providing vocals on the KLF's "Mu."
