He dreamed of becoming a father in a few months and now his wife, Lis, will give birth to their first child alone.

with only 40 years.

Convinced anti-vaccines, the singer of the duo

The Chameleonz

had been admitted to the Royal Stoke University Hospital since the beginning of August, when he

arrived with a kind of flu that was getting worse and worse,

causing him respiratory difficulties that made it necessary for him to be admitted to intensive care.

However, in his last dramatic days, Birks changed his mind about vaccines.

So much so that, in an interview with the BBC, he confessed that he had been "a bit ignorant" in positioning himself against vaccines and calling for the vaccination campaign.

"If you are not sick, you never think that you will get sick. So,

listen to me. Feeling that you cannot breathe is the most terrifying feeling in the world

. The first thing I want to say to my family and to the rest of the world is that they should be vaccinated," he noted in the one that was his last message.

After his death, his wife wanted to remember him with a moving post on Facebook.

In the message he refers to Birks as "my best friend, my soul mate", revealing his last promise before he died.

"I promised him that every day I will tell our son how much I loved him, how special he was and that he would have been the best father a son could have."
