British opera group II Divo was spotted in Sydney on Wednesday, ahead of their highly anticipated concert in Brisbane.

Band members Urs Bühler, Steven LaBrie, David Miller and Sébastien Izambard left the Channel Ten studios after an interview and performance in Studio 10.

Dressed all in black, the multinational classical crossover singing group appeared in good spirits.

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

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

The group stepped out in their signature all-black ensembles, consisting of button-up shirts tucked into matching pants, gray ties, shiny shoes and slicked-back hair.

They slipped off their coats and all piled into the car that took them 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 a second bout of Covid.

Days later, Carlos was admitted to Manchester Royal Infirmary, where he required the assistance of ventilators and was put into an induced coma.

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

In a 2020 interview, Carlos revealed that 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 took cold baths to keep his temperature down.

During his first bout of Covid, he also had trouble breathing and suffered nasty side effects from the antibiotics he was prescribed, but he eventually made a full recovery.
