'Bye Bye Birdie' star and 'Wild One' singer Bobby Rydell has died aged 79. The 60s' teen idol passed away at Jefferson Abington Hospital in Abington, Pennsylvania on Tuesday (05.

04. 22) from "non-COVID related pneumonia complications," a statement on his official Facebook page read. Born Robert Ridarelli, the rock 'n' roll singer and actor started out as an entertainer on Paul Whiteman's music variety show 'TV Teen Club' in 1950.

He shot to fame in 1959, when his first hit on Cameo-Parkway records, 'Kissin' Time', made Billboard's Hot 100 Hits in the US.

Rydell sold more than 25 albums. His biggest hits include 'Wild One', 'Volare', 'Wildwood Days' and 'The Cha-Cha-Cha'. Notably, his 1963 hit 'Forget Him' inspired Sir Paul McCartney, also 79, to pen the Beatles’ 1964 classic 'She Loves You'.
