Frank Sinatra Jr, who carried on his famous father's legacy with his own music career, has died aged 72.
The Sinatra family said in a statement to The Associated Press that Sinatra died unexpectedly on Wednesday of cardiac arrest while on tour in Daytona Beach, Florida.
The statement said the family mourns the untimely passing of their son, brother, father and uncle. No other details were provided.
Kidnapped and held for ransom when he was 19, Sinatra Jr had already followed his father into the music business by then. He eventually worked as his father's musical director and conductor. He performed the National Anthem at a New York Yankees game last year.
