His spokeswoman said Mr Walker died on Saturday at his Los Angeles home after a six-month battle with liver cancer.

The band was formed when three unrelated US musicians - Scott Engel, John Maus and Gary Leeds - adopted the Walker Brothers name in 1964.

Their biggest hits included the songs Make It Easy On Yourself and The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine (Any More).

The group's fame flourished after travelling to the UK in the 1960s and they continued to score huge commercial success in the 1970s.

Another one bites the dust ..... :shocked:

Don't know much about them but I do like the song,'The sun aint gonna shine anymore'.

Always sad to hear of deaths of people who have brought pleasure to others lives, especially from what he died of too.
