Steve Harley, the frontman of British rock band Cockney Rebel, has died at the age of 73.

 

His best known song was Make Me Smile (Come Up and See Me) which went to number one in the charts in 1975.

The musician had still been touring until recently, but cancelled dates to have treatment for cancer.

 

His family said Harley had "passed away peacefully at home", adding: "We know he will be desperately missed by people all over the world."

 

London-born Harley lived on the Essex-Suffolk border with his wife Dorothy, with whom he had two children, Kerr and Greta. His family were by his side when he died.

Great entertainer from my youth.

 

Sadly, he will be missed.

It got to number 5.

 

RIP Steve.
