British-Nigerian singer and songwriter Talay Riley has died at the age of 35 following a stabbing incident in East London, United Kingdom.

The singer, whose real name is Yinka Mark Orabiyi, reportedly died on June 5, 2026, after being attacked with a knife.

According to police reports, officers responded to emergency calls regarding a stabbing on Pankhurst Avenue. Emergency services later found the victim with multiple stab wounds in the garden of a property on Rayleigh Road.

However, the 24-year-old man and the woman have since been released with no further action, while the 27-year-old suspect has been released on bail pending further investigations.

Homicide detectives from the Specialist Crime Command have launched a full investigation into the circumstances surrounding the attack and have appealed for witnesses who may have been in the area at the time to come forward.
