SINGING legend Andy Williams has died at the age of 84.

Williams was a star for more than 60 years – and during the 1960s hosted a regular variety television show that was seen throughout the world.

He had a string of well-known hits including Moon River, Can’t Get Used to Losing You and Watching the Girls Go By – and was still performing until earlier this year.

He played a sell-out concert at the Ipswich Regent in 2005.

His death comes after a year-long battle with bladder cancer.
