NEW YORK: -- Levon Helm, singer and drummer for rock group The Band, has died of cancer at the age of 71.

The folk-rock musician died at a hospital in New York City surrounded by family, friends and band mates, said manager Barbara O'Brien in a statement.

His family said on Tuesday that Helm was in the final stages of his battle with throat cancer, which he was diagnosed with in 1998.

The Band debuted in 1968 with the album Music From the Big Pink.
