Nick Kamen, the Madonna’s protégé and Levi's launderette model dies at 59 of Bone Marrow Cancer after a long battle.

The model had featured in Levis 501 commercial in 1985, which was a huge success, he was also a singer and song writer.

Ronald Kamen told MailOnline that his younger brother Ivor Neville Kamen suffered from cancer for two years and was nursed by him, Lucinda (Nick Kamen’s girlfriend). He explained that Nick breathing was shallow and he knew what was imminent, he fought really hard and that he was with him a few days ago.

He explained that the pandemic restricted them from being with him all at once, they had to see him one at a time and that it worsened the situation, adding that Nick had the cancer before the lockdown.

Nick had undergone a full blood transfusion, he further explained.

His girlfriend was a great comfort to him, Nick knew he was dying, one neighbour said.

Tributes have been pouring out for the deceased model on social media amongst them are:

“So so sad to hear of the passing of Nick Kamen. One of the loveliest and gentlest men I ever met. He was a beloved friend to my daughter and her mom. We shall all miss him. RIP Nick” by Duran Duran.

“If you didn’t have a crush on Nick Kamen in the 80s, you probably weren’t there. RIP”. Comedian Matt Lucas said in a tweet.
