Davy Jones, Manchester-born lead singer with 60s band The Monkees, has died aged 66, his publicist has confirmed.

He died in his sleep at his home in Florida. His publicist, Deborah Robicheau, said he had a massive heart attack.

That's really quite young but if you got to go, that's the way to do it. Quickly and in bed!!

"Hey hey we're the Monkees and people say we monkee around... we're too busy singing to put anybody down.........."

awww I remember the monkees.

At least he didnt suffer.

I just heard that on the news. Very sad, he was only 66.
