Don Everly, the last of the Everly Brothers, has died aged 84 from a heart attack in his Nashville home.

The Everly Brothers were famous for their harmonies and Paul Simon said "Phil and Don were the most beautiful sounding duo I ever heard. Both voices pristine and soulful. The Everlys were there at the crossroads of country and R&B. They witnessed and were part of the birth of rock and roll."

Yet actually the brothers had a rocky relationship - at one point hardly talking to each other for 10 years. Don was the elder of the two and had drug problems early on, which contributed to their eventual breakup, but they also had opposing political views as well as wanting more artistic independence. Phil Everly died in 2014 from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
