Trance producer Robert Miles passes away, aged 47

Robert Concina, more commonly known by his stage name Robert Miles, has passed away at age 47.

His 1995 single 'Children' became one of the biggest dance music tracks of all time, hitting No. 1 in over 12 countries around the world, peaking at No. 2 in Ireland.

The initial success of 'Children' led to a string of other hit singles throughout the '90s, before Miles chose to step out of the spotlight and work on more experimental material.

Commenting on his death, friend Joe T Vanelli said: "The tragic news of the death of a very talented artist of our time, makes me incredulous and upset. I will miss the fights, brawls, criticism, judgements but especially your talent in finding sounds and melodies unparalleled."
