I looked up Joe Cocker on the internet and I found this:
From BBC news :
http://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-30582761
"Singer Joe Cocker dies , aged 70 after cancer battle" . He died on 22 nd December, 2014 at the age of 70 and of lung cancer.
He was a famous rock singer (he sang some Blues too) from England (when he sang , he didn't sound British, more like American) and he died in Crawford , Colorado, U.S.
Beatles remaining members Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr paid tribute to this greatest rock singer from Britain.
His last album was dated 2012.
Many of my favourite singers , writers are mostly gone.
