Dancer killed in car crash aged 27
A talented dancer from the Black Country who starred in the West End and performed with Rod Stewart and Cheryl Cole has died in a car crash at the age of 27.
Tributes were today pouring in for popular Aaron Morgan, who was a leading cast member in the Lion King show at London's Lyceum Theatre.
The former High Arcal School pupil, whose family were originally from Coseley but now live in Tipton, was killed when his blue Renault Clio left the road on the A1(M) in Hertfordshire and hit a tree.
His relatives said they were devastated, as they spoke of their pride in his achievements in the dancing world. Sister Sarah said: "We all love him and what he achieved in those last few years some people don't achieve in their whole lifetime so that makes us all very proud."
Aaron was introduced to the dancefloor by Sarah at the age of seven and attended Touch of Class in Dudley, learning Latin American and freestyle dancing.
He went on to win countless dance competitions, including being named Dance Master UK at Blackpool's Winter Gardens, and was offered a £30,000 scholarship at London's prestigious Urdang Academy dance school.
He got a role in the Lion King stage show aged 21.
