Don Everly of the iconic rock 'n' roll duo the Everly Brothers has died at the age of 84 at his home in Nashville.
The singer's family told the Los Angeles Times through a spokesperson this Saturday that he had passed on that day.
His death comes seven years after he lost his brother Phil, with whom he formed the iconic rock 'n' roll duo that rocketed them both to stardom.
'Don lived by what he felt in his heart,' his family said in a public statement marking his death over the weekend.
'Don expressed his appreciation for the ability to live his dreams ... with his soulmate and wife, Adela, and sharing the music that made him an Everly Brother.'
Originally born Isaac Donald Everly in Kentucky, he and Phil whiled away much of their early childhood in Iowa before spending their teen years in Tennessee.
It was there that they began their careers the Nashville country music scene, spinning their wheels for years before scoring a hit with Bye Bye Love in 1957.
