On 14th February 2006 Lyden David Hall passed away having lost his battle with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma disease, a rare form of cancer he had been battling for over 2 years. It is a form of cancer that mainly affects young people in their 20’s and around 1400 people are diagnosed in then UK every year. It is a disease of the Lymphatic system.

The Lymphatic system is a complex system of lymph organs (such as tonsils and bone marrow) and lymph nodes connected by a network of lymphatic vessels. This system is part of the body’s natural defence against infection. Hodgkin’s Lymphoma usually affects groups of lymph nodes in one area of the body such as the neck or armpit (press release).

In 2005 Lynden released his third studio album "In Between Jobs" on the independent label Random Records.

Singer, songwriter, arranger, musician and producer Lynden David Hall originally from Wandsworth, South London, won the 1998 MOBO (Music of Black Origin) for "Best Newcomer". In 1999, he was the first U.K. artist ever voted "Best Male Artist" by the readers of Britain's Blues & Soul magazine.

His debut album, "Medicine For My Pain", and singles, "Do I Qualify" and "Sexy Cinderella", had an instant appeal to soul fans in the U.K. - and elsewhere in the soul societies of Europe - but it wasn't until it got a remix treatment that this, then 23-year old, South Londoner got his major breakthrough.
