Seventy-two year old singer, Frank Sinatra Jr. has died after suffering a heart attack.
According to his spokesman, the singer was due to perform a concert of his dad’s songs at the Peabody Auditorium in Daytona Beach, Florida, when he died suddenly on Wednesday afternoon.
His sister, singer Nancy Sinatra, confirmed the sad news on Facebook posting:
“The Sinatra family mourn the untimely passing of their son, brother, father, uncle, Frank Sinatra, Jr. of cardiac arrest while on tour in Daytona, Florida. Sleep warm, Frankie.”
Frank Jr. was famously kidnapped aged 19 in Lake Tahoe in 1963 and held for a ransom of $240,000.
He was eventually released two days later when his dad paid the kidnappers who had demanded all contact be made through untraceable payphones.
