Legendary singer Andy Williams has died.
The 84-year-old passed away last night at his home in Missouri.
The news came after a year-long battle with bladder cancer.
The ‘Moon River’ singer was one of the most popular performers of the 1960s.
He remained on the charts into the 1970s and continued to perform in his 80s at the Moon River Theatre he built.
“The Andy Williams Show” was broadcast through the 1960s and into 1971.
It won 3 Emmy awards and featured Williams performing his hits and having guest stars.
He is survived by his wife and 3 children.
