Davy Jones, lead singer of The Monkeys, has died from a heart attack at the age of 66.
Jones passed away Wednesday at Martin Memorial Hospital in Florida.
The British-born singer, best known as the frontman of The Monkeys, a band formed in the 1960s to star in the television series of the same name, began his career as a child in the U.K. on the soap opera Coronation Street.
The Monkeys split in 1971 and Jones went on to establish himself as a solo star. He also joined forces with fellow Monkeys bandmember Micky Dolenz to form the group Dolenz, Jones, Boyce & Hart, with songwriters Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart.
Jones last hit the stage last week on February 19, 2012, for a solo show in Oklahoma.
No further details surrounding his death are available at this time. He is survived by his wife Jessica, and four daughters from previous marriages.
