Singer Joe Cocker has died at the age of 70, the Yorkshire Post reports. The Sheffield-born singer died at his home in Colorado, where he had been quietly battling lung cancer for years. In the U.S., Cocker was most famous for his cover of the Beatles’ “With a Little Help From My Friends,†as well as the shambling dance steps that inspired a Saturday Night Live parody from John Belushi. Cocker also had top-ten hits with “The Letter,†“You Are So Beautiful,†and “Up Where We Belong,†a duet from the film An Officer and a Gentleman that won an Oscar for Best Original Song.
