John Miles dies aged 72 after a short illness

Miles released ten albums during his career, and he also received an outstanding contribution gong at the Progressive Rock awards in 2017.
The music star - who worked with the likes of Jimmy Page and Tina Turner - said as he accepted the award: "I think I made a contribution but that was way back in the 70s.
"I suppose it has endured though. And the song 'Music' has endured as well, and that was the biggest hit worldwide. I'm a man of few words and there are eight lines of lyrics in that song. I get to work with orchestras these days too, which is fantastic."
Miles is survived by his wife Eileen, their two children and his grandchildren.
