    Just listened 2 djs discuss this on commercial radio. They could not have sounded any more insincere about how sad it was, if they tried.

    RIP - he was a talented lad.

    Yeah me too. 41 is no age.

    Although I was just as shocked to realise that "Colourblind" was 20 years ago! Bloody hell. My own life is flashing by.

    Colourblind was, and is, a quality pop track. Great debut single and massively talented singer. Brilliant in Chicago from the clips I’ve seen.

    Very sad news. Another young life gone too soon. He had a good singing voice and Colourblind is a very good pop song. He even had Jacqui Ainsley in the video and dated her for two years before she married Guy Richie. Rushes wasn't a bad follow up single and his Baby One More Time audition will be played for years to come.

    I heard a news piece about him, and they emphasised the point that he was 'booted off' Pop Stars. I genuinely think some media outlets are addicted to controversy.

    Rip Darius. As many have said already, Colourblind was a banger. Kinda Love was a tune too.

    I once shagged an older married lady from Scarborough for the first time on a dirty weekend in a boutique hotel in Glasgow to the song 'Colourblind' by Darius.

    I hope this touching story brings those close to him some crumbs of comfort.
