KUALA LUMPUR: Early 1990s US pop star Tommy Page died on Friday at the age of 46, the Daily Mail reported today.
Billboard.com Editorial Director, Denise Warner, said Page was found dead in New York of an apparent suicide.
Page, whose song "I'll Be Your Everything" went to No. 1 in 1990, later became a record company executive, publisher of Billboard magazine, a vice president at Pandora and an executive at The Village Voice.
He began his post-music career at Billboard magazine in 2011 as an associate publisher and was promoted to publisher a year later.
Billboard Entertainment Group President John Amato said everybody at the magazine is mourning the loss of a friend and colleague.
"He was a magnetic soul and a true entertainer," he said.
Page, who at the time of his death was vice president of music partnerships at the Voice, previously led artist partnerships, branded content and events at internet radio company Pandora.
He had also been an executive at Warner Bros Records, where he helped shape the careers of Michael Buble, Alanis Morissette, Josh Groban and Green Day. In addition, he had a stint as senior vice president at Cumulus Media Inc.
A graduate of New York University's Stern School of Business, Page started his music career as an artist at Sire Records and topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart with "I'll Be Your Everything."
He co-wrote the song with Jordan Knight and Danny Wood, who were his tourmates from the band New Kids on the Block. Page recorded nine studio albums.
Another of his top hits was “A Shoulder To Cry On”.
On TV, Page had appeared as himself on an episode of "Full House" in 1992.
He is survived by his partner, Charlie, and their three children.
In a statement, the Voice said: "Our thoughts are with his partner, their three children, and the rest of his family and close circle of friends. Tommy will be missed."
