South African singer Johnny Clegg died on Tuesday at the age of 66.

Clegg was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2015.

He had launched a series of farewell tours in 2018, appearing on stage with a variety of artists, including his son Jessie Clegg.

Family spokesperson Roddy Quinn shared the news in a statement on Tuesday night.

"It is with immense sadness that we confirm that Jonathan (Johnny) Clegg, OBE OIS, succumbed to pancreatic cancer at the age of 66 on the afternoon of 16 July 2019 at his family home in Johannesburg, South Africa."

Clegg is survived by his wife of 31 years, Jenny, and their sons Jesse and Jaron.

Rest In Peace White Zulu.

Had the privilege to watch his last show in South Africa in 2017. Was a real emotional show, but he still had it.
