Bobby Caldwell, 71, passed recently at his residence. He was a veteran vocalist, composer, and the voice behind the famous tune What You Won’t Do for Love. Bobby’s death was announced by his wife Mary, who posted from the late singer’s Twitter account, writing that Bobby died at their house and that she hugged her spouse closely in his final seconds. Mary also stated:
“Thank you for all of your thoughts over the years. He had been “FLOXED,” and it had taken his health over the previous 6 years and 2 months. Remain in peace, my Sweetheart.”
According to Bobby Caldwell’s wife, the possible cause of the renowned artist’s demise could have been the result of being “floxed.” According to Regenerative Medicine LA, floxing occurs when the body suffers from mitochondrial injury and reactive stress as a result of a “fluoroquinolone” drug side effect. Caldwell’s situation eventually had an impact on his health, as he had been suffering for more than six years. According to numerous reports, Bobby was unable to move due to pain and a torn muscle in his foot.
Bobby Caldwell, the vocalist of What You Won’t Do For Love, has an approximate personal worth of $8 million.
Bobby started working as a member of a band in Florida at the age of 17 before relocating to Los Angeles, and he is known for his flexibility across categories such as R&B, private fluid jazz stylings, and big band compositions. He Caldwell, his first record, came out years later in 1978. The Open Your Eyes singer’s net worth was estimated to be around $8 million by CelebrityNetWorth. His music spans six decades, as the performer went dormant after being floxed in 2017.
Caldwell was born in Manhattan, New York City, and reared in Miami, for those who are ignorant. At a young age, the vocalist was inspired by musicians such as Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, and Nat King Cole, as well as musical groups such as the Beatles. Caldwell kept up an excellent job with his follow-up effort after publishing his initial record in 1978. The famous vocalist also had a huge fan base in Japan, where she received Best Foreign Talent at the 34th Japan Record Awards.
Caldwell was well-known for his recordings such as Locked on You (1992), Where Is Love (1993), Soul Survivor (1996), and Blue Condition (1996), on which he imitated Frank Sinatra’s manner while balancing it with R&B. Bobby Caldwell was a composer who penned songs for Chicago, Boz Scaggs, Peter Cetera, Amy Grant, Neil Diamond, and Al Jarreau.
“Such an icon,” said Twitter users in homage to the late Bobby Caldwell.

Bobby Caldwell battled with floxing, which left him with a variety of symptoms following a poor drug response in 2017. Floxing drugs include Ciprofloxacin (cipro), Levaquin (levofloxacin), and Avelox, according to Regenerative Medicine Los Angeles (Moxifloxacin). The situation typically occurs when the fluoroquinolones are combined with other drugs such as steroids (prednisone), NSAIDs (ibuprofen), fluconazole (diflucan), metronidazole (flagyl), Macrobid (Nitrofurantoin), and so on. Weakness, muscular atrophy, neuropathy, anxiety, dread, terror, nerve pain, heartbeat, sadness, and exhaustion are the most common signs of floxing.
