Joe Cocker - Dies from Lung Cancer

TMZ Reports

Joe Cocker -- the gravely-voiced singer known for his version of "With a Little Help From My Friends" -- died today after battling a lung cancer ... according to his agent.

Cocker was reportedly on his ranch in Colorado with his wife when he passed away.

Cocker's cover of the Beatles 'Help From My Friends' made him an international superstar in 1968. He went on to have several other huge hits, like "You are So Beautiful" in 1975 -- and his duet with Jennifer Warnes ... "Up Where We Belong." That song earned him a Grammy in 1983.

Joe's Woodstock performance was legendary. He was 70 years old.

Re: Joe Cocker - Dies from Lung Cancer

On Thanksgiving, DH and I were in traffic on the Belt and had one of Cocker's albums playing really loud, and I was singing with the windows half-open even louder. I was telling DH that we should really go see him in concert - we had no idea he was sick.
