Robert Palmer will be buried in Switzerland rather than his birthplace England.
The rock star died of a heart attack last Friday in Paris but had been living in Switzerland for the last 16 years. He was with his partner of 20 years, Mary Ambrose, when he had the heart attack while holidaying in the French capital after filming a television special in London to promote his new album.
Palmer will be buried in the town he had lived in for the last 16 years, Lugano. His partners Les and Ann Palmer are in Switzerland making arrangements for the funeral. Robert also had two children, including a 22 year old daughter, Jane.
Palmer called Lugano the first home he had ever had said his manager Nick Cater. His father was in the British navy and constantly moving the family. Robert grew up mainly in Malta.
The singer's death was sudden and unexpected. Only weeks earlier he was given a full medical checkup and told he was in perfect health.
There was also no indication there was anything wrong last Thursday night. Robert and Mary had stopped in Paris after completing work in England and were having a few quiet nights before heading home to Switzerland. The night before he died, they had a quiet dinner and then went and saw a movie.
News of the death of the two time Grammy winner has shocked the music industry. Palmer was just 54.
