The founding father of rock and roll Little Richard has died at the age of 87. The musician’s son, Danny Penniman, confirmed the star's death to Rolling Stone, but said the cause of death was unknown.

The star, real name Richard Wayne Penniman, was an American singer, songwriter, and musician. He was known for such hits as Good Golly Miss Molly, Rip It Up and Tutti Frutti - which became a number one hit in the UK again decades later.

He was an influential figure in popular music and culture for seven decades - no more details about his passing are currently known.
