UK opera group II Divo were spotted in Sydney on Wednesday ahead of their highly-anticipated concert in Brisbane. 

Band members Urs Bühler, Steven LaBrie, David Miller and Sébastien Izambard were seen leaving the Channel Ten studios following an interview and performance on Studio 10.

Garbed all in black, the multi-national classical crossover vocal group looked to be in high spirits.

Urs looks decades younger than his 52 years, even appearing more youthful than 35-year-old bandmate Steven, who looked decidedly different with a thick beard and moustache.

Meanwhile, American-born David and French singer Sébastien both sported salt and pepper locks.

The group stepped out in their signature matching all-black ensembles, which featured button-down shirts tucked into matching trousers, grey ties, shiny shoes and slicked-back hair.

Slipping out of their jackets, they all ducked into the car which whisked them off to head to Sydney Airport for a flight to Brisbane. 

The sighting comes after the tragic loss of their bandmate Carlos Marin who died aged 53 after battling a second bout of Covid.

He contracted the infectious disease in December, 2021, testing positive for the virus while touring the UK with II Divo.

Days later, Carlos was admitted to Manchester Royal Infirmary where he required the aid of breathing machines and was placed in an induced coma. 

He was announced dead on December 19.

Carlos’s agent, speaking to Spanish TV show Corazon, said he had been vaccinated against Covid in Mexico – where he lived for part of the year.

In a 2020 interview, Carlos revealed he first contracted Covid while touring the US in December, 2019.

By December 12 of that year, he had lost his sense of smell and was taking cold baths just to keep his temperature down.

During his first bout of Covid, he also struggled to breath and suffered nasty side effects from the antibiotics he was prescribed, but ultimately made a full recovery.
