AMERICAN SINGER BRAMLETT DIES
Singer/producer DELANEY BRAMLETT has died in hospital at the age of 69 following complications from surgery.
Bramlett, who worked with musicians George Harrison and Eric Clapton, passed away on Saturday (27Dec08) at UCLA Ronald Reagan Medical Center in Los Angeles.
The songwriter, who penned classic rock songs including Let it Rain, died after complications from gallbladder surgery, according to his wife Susan.
Bramlett enjoyed a 50-year career in the music business. With his first wife, Bonnie Lynn, he created the Southern blues-rock band Delaney + Bonnie + Friends.
The group opened for Blind Faith, which featured British guitarist Clapton, in 1969.
As well as recording with the band, Bramlett continued to produce for artists such as Etta James and performed with stars including John Lennon, Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin.
Earlier this year (08), Bramlett released his first LP in six years, A New Kind of Blues.
He is survived by his wife, three daughters and a son.
