The Monday Morning Memo

LONDON (AP) – Rock singer Robert Palmer, known for his sharp suits and hits including “Addicted to Love,” died Friday (Sept. 26, 2003) in Paris of a heart attack, his manager said. He was 54. Palmer was on a two-day break in Paris following a television recording session in Britain, his manager Mick Carter said from the French capital. In the 1980s, Palmer became a superstar with singles which also included “Simply Irresistible” – accompanied by slick videos featuring the smartly dressed Palmer with a back-up band of attractive women, all in black outfits and glossy makeup. The son of a British naval officer, Palmer was a member of several British rock bands before he hit the big time as a solo artist. He had lived in Switzerland for the past 16 years. Known for his GQ sense of style, Palmer was named best dressed male artist by Rolling Stone in 1990. The “Addicted to Love” video, with its miniskirted models strumming guitars as Palmer sang, became one of MTV’s most-played clips, and sparked protests from some feminists.
