The rock icon Joe Cocker dies at age 70


British singer Joe Cocker died yesterday at the age of 70, succumbing to lung cancer.


He became famous in the 1970s, thanks to the title "You are so beautiful." Rock-soul singer had to his credit at least 23 albums, the last recorded in 2012.


Born in Sheffield, he began his career in pubs in Northern England. His career took off after his interpretation of the Beatles song "With a Little Help From My Friends" on the Woodstock festival stage.


Joe Cocker lived with his wife in a small village of Colorado.
