‘Barely Breathing’ singer Duncan Sheik smiles at last public appearance before his sudden death at 56

Add Page Six on Google “Barely Breathing” singer Duncan Sheik appeared happy and energetic in his final public appearance prior to his death at age 56.

The singer was pictured on the red carpet at the Olivier Awards in London on April 12, 2026. He wore a gray jacket and coordinating tie, and accessorized with black shoes and a gray wide-brimmed hat.

He posed with his hands in his pockets for the outing.

The singer shared his final social media post one week ago, taking to Instagram with a thoughtful photo of himself in black and white.

He wore a pair of black glasses, a golf cap, and a jean jacket for the snapshot. He did not include a caption.

A day prior to that, he shared a serene photo of what appeared to be his city view from a hotel room, captioning the photo, “The sun it is leaving At the end of the evening In an airless room, some might assume.”

However, on Friday, the family shared that the Grammy winner had died at the age of 56.
