Dani Hampson tragically lost her life on June 18, 2022, at the age of 34. Dani gained recognition due to his boyfriend’s fame as the winner of 2014’s The X Factor.

Their wedding was postponed for two years due to the effects of the covid-19 pandemic. The couple was meant to tie the knot on June 18, 2022. Tragically, she passed away on the morning of the same day.

The cause of her death is still unknown. The couple, alongside their son Bowie, had just returned from a trip to Sardinia, Italy.

“A sign of my unconditional love to you”

Two days after announcing the devastating news, the 28-year-old singer returned to Instagram dedicating a poem to his wife. The Stereo Kicks singer shared a poem his fiancée had posted herself years before.

It reads: “You fall, you rise, you make mistakes, you live, you learn. You’re human, not perfect. You’ve been hurt, but you’re alive. Think of what a precious privilege is it to be alive – to breathe, to think, to enjoy, and to chase the things you love.

“Sometimes there is sadness in our journey, but there is also lots of beauty. We must keep putting one foot in front of the other even when we hurt, for we will never know what is waiting for us just around the bend.”

On the day of her death, the singer promised to wear the ring that “he was always supposed to wear as a sign of his unconditional love to her”.
