THE Wildhearts star, Scott Sorry, has died aged 47 following a battle with brain cancer.
Scott Sorry, whose real name was Gerard Engelter, sadly passed away on Thursday on what was his 47th birthday.
His family shared a heartbreaking tribute to the musician via the star’s Instagram account, which read: “We’re heartbroken to share that Scott Sorry has passed away after a long and incredibly brave fight with brain cancer.
“Scott passed away on his 47th birthday, October 30th, 2025.
“After being diagnosed with Glioblastoma back in 2018, Scott refused to let it define him.
“He outlived every Doctors expectation, turning months into years, and even made it back to the UK in 2022 for a tour — something that meant the world to him.
“He was so grateful to be able to play again, to see so many familiar faces and to personally thank so many of you that had supported him through it all.
“We’re devastated beyond words, but there’s comfort in knowing he’s finally free from pain. His strength, humour, and heart will stay with us forever.”
Scott is survived by his wife Hanni and his three children River, Ryder and Rörik.
