Solomon Burke is Dead.

He died at Schiphol Airport in the Netherlands, on or immediately after a flight from Los Angeles to Amsterdam, where he had been due to perform with De Dijk on October 12.
The cause of death was not immediately clear. Apparently, after having had a heart attack on the plane, he could not be resuscitated.

Burke combined his singing with the role of preacher and patriarch of a huge family of 21 children, 90 grandchildren and 19 great grandchildren.

"Loving people," he said at a recent performance in London, "is what I do."

One love, Rest in Peace
