The publicist for Lonnie Donegan has announced the legendary king of skiffle has died at the age of 71.
His death came after he collapsed midway through a UK tour.
The star, whose hits included "Cumberland Gap" and "My Old Man's A Dustman", was with his wife and son when he died in Peterborough.
Mr Donegan, who had suffered a series of heart attacks, had been complaining of back trouble shortly before falling ill.
