Scott Walker, one of the most enigmatic and influential figures in rock history, has died at the age of 76.
The US star, whose songs included The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore and Joanna, influenced everyone from David Bowie to Jarvis Cocker.
He found fame as a teen idol in The Walker Brothers, but his dark baritone hinted at something deeper.
That was borne out in his experimental, psychedelic solo albums, which explored the complexities of love and death.
Walker's death was confirmed by his current record label, 4AD, who called him "one of the most revered innovators at the sharp end of creative music".
On Twitter, one tribute read: "R.I.P. Scott Walker, an unforgettable voice like a cathedral lit by a sunset."

Apparently it's quite hard to see them with the naked eye, you need to be looking through a camera or other type of lens?
