Country Star Kevin Sharp Dead at 43
. According to a message posted on Sharp's official website this weekend, he died "due to ongoing complications from past stomach surgeries and digestive issues." Sharp was best known for the platinum-selling hit "Nobody Knows." Originally a song by R&B artist Tony Rich, Sharp's version reached No. 1 on the country charts in 1997 and helped earn him an ACM Award nomination for Top New Male Vocalist. The song appeared on Sharp's debut album Measure of a Man, which also included subsequent hit songs "She's Sure Taking It Well" and "If You Love Somebody." Born in 1970 in Redding, Calif., Sharp grew up in Idaho and California, where he was a high school sports player when he was diagnosed with a form of bone cancer known as Ewing's sarcoma. Because of this, the Make-A-Wish Foundation contacted him, and his wish was to meet David Foster, producer of the group Chicago. Sharp's cancer then went into remission, and through Foster, he began to focus on a music career. His debut album, Measure of a Man, was released in 1996. more on this story Radio.com is an official news provider for antiMusic.com.
