Tributes have flooded in for a ‘larger than life’ musician Trevor T, who played sessions with iconic reggae band Musical Youth, after he passed away on Sunday.
The legendary dad-of-three played a major role in the Birmingham nightlife scene for the last four decades, known as a talented DJ, singer and entertainer.
Trevor Wilson, from Northfield , was rushed to hospital last week after suffering heart problems, and was later put in an induced coma.
Sadly, despite heart surgery, the 55-year-old could not recover and he died on Sunday at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital with his family by his side.
His death was announced on his Facebook page with the words: “There are no words to convey the sadness we feel tonight.
“Anyone who worked in clubs in Birmingham would know Trevor,” said long-term friend Mark Field, who had known Trevor for more than 35 years.
“He was a larger than life character, and a genuine guy.
“He had the ability to make you feel special.
“He was a talented musician and could play the trumpet, saxophone, drums and would sing.
“He would sometimes dress up in wigs and take on characters. Once you booked Trevor for a party, you would never book anyone else.
Mark explained that Trevor had been due to marry long-term partner Sally in October, after being together for 19 years.
