Don Everly, the last surviving member of the rock 'n' roll duo The Everly Brothers, has died at the age of 84.

Axar.az reports that a family spokesperson confirmed Everly's death to the Los Angeles Times, but did not disclose the cause.

Everly and his brother, Phil, had hits worldwide in the late 1950s and early 1960s, including Bye Bye Love and All I Have To Do Is Dream.

They were known for their close harmonies and influenced bands such as The Beatles.

The pair had an onstage breakup in 1973 that led to a decade-long estrangement, but Phil later told Time magazine that the brothers' relationship had survived this.
