A cause of death was not disclosed to the Los Angeles Times<\/a> – who confirmed Everly’s tragic passing.<\/p>\n

A heartbreaking statement read: \u201cDon lived by what he felt in his heart.<\/p>\n

“Don expressed his appreciation for the ability to live his dreams…with his soulmate and wife, Adela, and sharing the music that made him an Everly Brother.\u201d<\/p>\n

His death comes seven years after he lost his brother and bandmember Phil Everly who died of pulmonary disease in 2014.<\/p>\n

Born Isaac Donald Everly in Kentucky in 1937, he and his brother Phil spent much of their early childhood in Iowa before moving to Tennessee.<\/p>\n

It was in Nashville that their careers began to take off and in 1957 their song Bye Bye Love became a hit.<\/p>\n

The song, which had been rejected by 30 acts before making its way to the Everly Brothers, soared to number two on the pop charts.<\/p>\n

Everly is survived by his mother, wife Adela, son Edan, and his daughters Venetia, Stacy, and Erin – who was formally married to Guns N\u2019 Roses vocalist Axl Rose.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
