British singer Joe Cocker, whose career covers more than four decades, died at the age of 70, announced his agent on Monday, December 22, reports AFP.
Originally from Sheffield, an industrial city in northern England, Joe Cocker died Sunday evening in the United States of lung cancer. He was undoubtedly the biggest rock/soul singer ever produced by the United Kingdom, said his Marshall Barrie agent in a press release.
He had acquired his notoriety in the late 1960s thanks to his resumption of “With a Little Help From My Friends” of the Beatles, a piece he had interpreted in his raucous voice during the Woodstock festival in August 1969.
