Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Obituaries,
The Monkees singer Davy Jones has died, aged 66.
The lead singer of the "Daydream Believer" group - which also consists of original members Micky Dolenz, 66, and 70-year-old Peter Tork - passed away from a heart attack earlier today, a representative confirmed to TMZ.com. An official from the medical examiner's office for Martin County, Florida, told the website they received a phone call from the Martin Memorial Hospital informing them that Davy had died.
Davy leaves behind four daughters, Talia Elizabeth, 43, and Sarah Lee, 40 from his marriage to Linda Haines, and Jessica Lillian, 30, and 23-year-old Annabel Charlotte from his marriage to Anita Pollinger. The pop icon - who was born in Manchester, North West England - married 33-year-old TV presenter Jessica Pacheo - who he met in 2006 - in August 2009.
In May 2011, the singer said he was having some of the happiest times he's ever had in his life with Jessica: "We have love. We have friendship. She's also aware of what I've done in music, and the fact that I no longer really need to prove anything."
