David Cassidy, star of The Partridge Family, has died at the age of 67.
The retired singer and actor, best known for playing the role of Keith Partridge in the 1970s sitcom, died in Florida on Tuesday. He had been in hospital for a week due to liver and kidney failure.
Singing and acting in hit 70s sitcom The Partridge Family, David Cassidy was an American heartthrob.
Cassidy's family told People he died surrounded "with joy in his heart and free from the pain that had gripped him for so long".
"Thank you for the abundance and support you have shown him these many years," the statement read.
In one of his last major TV interviews, Cassidy revealed he was recently diagnosed with dementia.
"I could remember details of automobiles I drove in 1967, but it's the recent memory [that is the issue]," he told American TV host Dr Phil.
"When ... people who love you and care for you keep saying I just told you this, didn't you hear me? That's when I started to become very concerned."
In 2014, the former teen idol also opened up about his troubled relationship with alcohol.
