Lil’ Chris has tragically passed away at the age of 24.
The Suffolk-born star – whose full name is Christopher James Hardman – was a singer-songwriter, actor and TV personality.
A Suffolk Police spokesperson confirmed to Mirror Celebs that they’re investigating the sudden death of a man but are not treating it as suspicious.
In a statement, they added: “Officers received a call on Monday 23rd March at about 11.45am following the death of a 24 year old man. A postmortem examination is to take place in due course and an inquest will be opened.”
Chris first found fame at 15 when he appeared in series two of Channel 4’s Rock School. He went on to sign a record deal with major label RCA and released his debut single Checkin’ It Out in September 2006. It reached number three in the UK Singles Chart.
Since news broke, family, friends and fans of the star began flooding Twitter with tributes.
His mum Karen Hardman shared a number of pictures of her son on Facebook today, and family and friends have since sent their condolences.
