(Classic Rock) Glam rock singer and actor Alvin Stardust has died at the age of 72, it's been confirmed. Real name Bernard Jewry, and also known as Shane Fenton, Stardust has recently been diagnosed with prostate cancer, but hadn't stopped performing. His last appearance was in Worcestershire at the weekend.

He'd recently completed work on his first album in 30 years, and the release will go ahead as planned in November. A spokesman had the following to say:

"It's an extraordinary record - we've been playing it to people who thought it was Johnny Cash or Glen Campbell. Nobody guessed it was Alvin. It's fantastic, and it's going to come out next month because that's what he would have wanted."
