Foster Sylvers, the celebrated R&B child star best known for the hit 'Boogie Fever,' has passed away at the age of 64 after a battle with pancreatic cancer, as confirmed by his brother Leon Sylvers III. Born on February 25, 1962, in Memphis, Tennessee, Sylvers began his music career at just 11 years old, releasing his self-titled debut album in 1973, which included the hit 'Misdemeanor.' He later achieved significant success as a member of the Sylvers, a family band that produced several popular tracks, including the iconic 'Boogie Fever' from their 1975 album 'Showdown.' Despite his early success, the 1980s brought declining commercial prospects, prompting Sylvers to collaborate with various artists and pursue solo projects. His later life was marred by legal issues, including a 1994 conviction for a sex offense that required him to register as a sex offender in California. Sylvers's passing marks the end of an era for fans of R&B music, and further updates on his life and career are expected as the story develops.
