Born in Paris in 1924, he was Armenian by heritage - his family left their homeland to escape the genocide taking place there. He used much of experience growing up in hardship as the inspiration behind some of his greatest hits.

He will be best remembed for his 1974 hit She - a cover of which featured in the 1999 film Notting Hill. During his life he was awarded a star on Hollywood's Walk of Fame and named in 1998 as CNN's Entertainer of the Century.

The singer was due to embark on a tour across Europe later this year but cancelled all future apperances before the summer.

In his last broadcast interview, he told Good Morning Britain that he had been in love: "Maybe five times," before adding that the secret to a happy marriage is to not argue.
