Veteran actor and pop singer Bobby Rydell is no more. According to Variety, the former '60s teen idol, known for the songs 'Wildwood Days' and 'Volare', died of complications from pneumonia last week.

His demise was confirmed by radio legend Jerry Blavat, Rydell's longtime friend from the singer's South Philadelphia stomping grounds. "Out of all the kids" from that era, he had the best pipes and was the greatest entertainer.
