Legendary singer Andy Williams lost
his year-long battle with bladder cancer on Tuesday night, his family confirmed
in a statement. He died at home in Branson, Missouri. He was 84.
Williams was well-known for his
Oscar-winning song "Moon
River," which was featured in the iconic 1961 movie "Breakfast at
Tiffany's," but
that's far from his only hit.
The crooner, who got his
professional start in the business at the age of 8, also saw success with songs
like "Canadian Sunset," "Can't Get Used to Losing You" and
"The Hawaiian Wedding Song," for which he received his first of five
Grammy nods.
Williams is survived by his wife,
Debbie (pictured with Williams above in 2009), and his three kids, Robert,
Noelle and Christian.
