Music producer Phil Spector has died from COVID-19 related complications at the age of 81 it has been revealed.

Spector was diagnosed with COVID four weeks ago and was transferred from his prison cell, where he was serving a 19 years-to-life sentence for the 2003 murder of actress Lana Clarkson, to a hospital.

He recovered enough to return to jail but he relapsed and struggled with breathing and returned to a hospital where he died Saturday, as per TMZ.

The California Department of Corrections confirmed his passing and he was pronounced dead of natural causes. A medical examiner will determine his exact cause of death.

The famed musician, born in the Bronx of New York City, developed the Wall of Sound a technique of that has a roaring effect, dubbed the 'Wagnerian approach to rock 'n' roll,' that was popular in the '60s.

He wrote, co-wrote and produced acts for the likes of the Ronettes, the Crystals, and Ike & Tina Turner.

He started his career by producing his first hit 'To Know Him is To Love Him' by the Teddy Bears when he was still in High School.

From there his career skyrocketed and he produced hits including 'Be My Baby' by the Ronnettes and 'He’s a Rebel' by The Crystals.

In 1969 he produced the Beatles' album Let It Be and several solo records for John Lennon and George Harrison.

RIP

"Phil Spector, fabled record producer and recent celebrity defendant, decried Turner's defining public persona as the abusive former husband of Tina Turner, a reputation largely shaped by the 1993 film "What's Love Got To Do With It," which Spector called "that piece of trash movie that made up things about him." He also insisted, "Ike made Tina the jewel she was."

Spector also took potshots at Oprah Winfrey, Whoopi Goldberg and Tina Turner, all of whom he said contributed to demonizing Turner, who died Dec. 12 at 76. [The Seattle Times]"

People who think Ike Turner was crazy need to go read about Phil Spector. Basically imprisoning Ronnie Spector, pulling a gun on John Lennon, and more.

Was a musical genius who changed the game in the 60s, though:

 
Good one less. I heard the cac that owned the Sweet N Low company jumped out of his window too :dunno:
