He died at the age of 79 from pneumonia singer of the famous song, Volare, Bobby Rydell. The idol of the 60’s passed away a few days before his 80th birthday, as confirmed by the radio legend, Jerry Blavat, who was a very close friend of his.
Rydell had 34 singles on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, including Wild One, No. 2, Volare, No. 4, Swingin ‘School, and The Cha-Cha-Cha. The singer had starred with Ann-Margret, Dick Van Dyke and Janet Leigh in the Oscar-nominated film Bye Bye Birdie.
In 2003 his first wife, with whom he was married for 36 years, died of cancer. Rydell could not bear the loss and became an alcoholic.
“There was a huge gap in my life, no one to lie with him in bed, no one to talk, no one to laugh,” he said in a 2016 interview with Morning Call. “I threw it in the drink. And vodka became a very good friend and then came the double transplant. “New liver and new kidney from the drink,” he had said. Shortly before the transplant, he remarried his beloved Linda.
