Former S Club singer Jo O'Meara is to record lost songs written for Karen Carpenter.
Richard Carpenter, Karen's brother and singing partner in The Carpenters, approached Jo in the hope that she would agree to sing songs that he wrote for Karen before her death from anorexia in 1983.
"Richard has said that vocally I am the closest to Karen he has heard since her death," Jo told The Mirror. "He has asked me to record some of the songs he had written for her. Karen has always been my all-time favourite singer."
