Steve Lawrence, a Grammy-winning singer and half of the pop duo Steve & Eydie, has died.
Lawrence died Thursday from complications due to Alzheimer's disease, a publicist confirmed in a statement shared with The Times. He was 88.
"My Dad was an inspiration to so many people. But, to me, he was just this charming, handsome, hysterically funny guy who sang a lot," son David Lawrence said in a statement. "Sometimes alone and sometimes with his insanely talented wife. I am so lucky to have had him as a father and so proud to be his son. My hope is that his contributions to the entertainment industry will be remembered for many years to come."
