Sad news for the music world.
Joe Cocker has died, E! News confirms. The late British rocker—who is perhaps best known for his cover of The Beatles' "With a Little Help From Friends, "which he performed live at Woodstock in 1969 and was later used as the opening theme for TV's The Wonder Years—passed away after losing his battle to cancer, Time reports. His management staff also confirmed to Time that the singer died in his Colorado home.
Per BBC News, Cocker's agent Barrie Marshall released a statement in which he described the musician as "simply unique" and noted that "it will be impossible to fill the space he leaves in our hearts."
Cocker was born in Sheffield on May 20, 1944. He rose the fame in the 1960s, known for his gritty voice and often covering popular songs such as "You're So Beautiful" and "Have a Little Faith in Me."
