Reg Presley, The Trogg's lead singer famed for Wild Thing, With A Girl Like You and Love Is All Around has died aged 71 after a long term battle with cancer. Wet Wet Wet's No 1 cover of Love Is All Around in 1994 allowed Presley to pursue his interest in UFOs and crop circles. Presley only stopped touring last year and he died surrounded by friends and family.
