He died at the age of 42 after being struck by the driver of a vehicle in Manhattan in the early hours of the morning. Videos Many of Royes' videos centered on adult content, with some creating a sizable media stir, the central one being Holly Valance's video " Kiss Kiss", where she appeared in a flesh-coloured body suit to appear naked. Something similar happened in 2007, when Melanie C's music video of the '80s hit "I Want Candy" showed the singer in a skin-tight cat suit and featured a sexually suggestive dance routine with half-naked bodybuilders in crowd-controller uniforms.

''The Guardian'' ranked it as the tenth best Faith No More song in 2014. They wrote, "''Album of the Year'' sounded unfinished and is barely listenable. But one track, 'Ashes to Ashes', stood out. It is a moody rocker, with a memorably anthemic chorus that soared thanks to one of the finest vocal performances of Patton's career." When ''Consequence of Sound'' ranked all 126 Faith No More songs in 2015, they placed "Ashes to Ashes" at number ten. However, a July 1997 live version ...

In effect they have timed it to perfection." Pan-European magazine ''Music & Media'' commented, "Not so good as "Stay", but as long as the intention is real, they'll come a long way. The various remixes will please many market segments. If that won't do it, the free pictures will." Alan Jones from ''Music Week'' gave the song four out of five, concluding that "the UK's premie ...
