Darius Danesh helped to raise thousands of pounds for charity before his untimely death at the age of 41, after suffering a family tragedy.
The Pop Idol star was found dead in his apartment in Rochester, Minnesota on Thursday (August 11). His cause of death is currently unknown.
Family meant everything to the Glasgow-born singer. He was left devastated when his father, Dr Booth Danesh, was diagnosed with terminal cancer before his mother, Avril Campbell Danesh, was later told she also had the disease.
