Rock musician John Miles has died at the age of 72, his family have confirmed.
Born in Jarrow, north-east England, he was best known for the epic ballad Music, which reached number three in the UK charts in 1976.
Soon afterwards, Melody Maker magazine named him "the brightest, freshest force in British rock".
The star, who later played with Tina Turner, "passed away peacefully after a short illness," his family said.
"He was a loving husband, father and grandfather and we will all miss him more than any words could ever express," read a statement posted on Miles' official Facebook page.
"He will live on forever in our hearts and with the wonderful musical legacy he has left behind. You were our first love and will be our last."
