Singer Joe Cocker has died aged 70, his management team has confirmed to ITV News.

Born John Robert Cocker on 20 May 1944 in Sheffield, he died today after a battle with lung cancer.

He lived in Sheffield until his early 20s. His international success as a blues/rock singer began in 1964. Joe created 40 albums and toured extensively around the globe.

He received a Grammy in 1983 for 'Up Where We Belong,' a duet with Jennifer Warnes and in 2007 received an OBE for his contribution to music. He is best known for songs like 'You are So Beautiful,' 'With a Little Help from my Friends,' and 'Unchain My Heart'.

He brought me some pleasure with his music, and as far as I know he never did me any harm. R.I.P.

Damn. His debut LP is a classic. Arguably Jimmy Page's most recognized guitar work.

Saw him in concert 8 or 9 years ago here locally. His band was so tight, and he could still bring it.

RIP Joe!
