Fact #120948

When:

Short story:

Mel Appleby of hitmaking UK duo Mel And Kim dies of cancer, in London, aged 23.

Full article:

Kim Appleby : Melanie's illness was a real eye-opener for the family and it pulled us all together. It pulled everything into perspective, all the other little things that you worry about become so trivial. Meeting Craig as well made me more settled than I was.

I really wasn't sure what I wanted to do. My main purpose at the time was looking after my mum, who was obviously totally devastated. When Mel passed away, that was what really concerned me. If I was going to make a comeback I had to be prepared mentally and make sure I was ready. If I was to come back I couldn't have just stumbled back and had people thinking 'Oh look, she's back", I wanted to make whatever I did really hot.
