Thé Lau, best known as lead singer of Dutch band The Scene, passed away in his home in Amsterdam on Tuesday night. He had been terminally ill with cancer for some time. Thé Lau's management announced the 62 year old singer's death on Wednesday, NU reports. After Thé Lau announced that he was sick, he and his band booked a farewell tour through the Netherlands and Belgium.
