Saxophonist Boots Randolph, who was best known for playing Benny Hill's signature tune Yakety Sax, has died in the US aged 80.
Randolph, who was born Homer Louis, had been in a coma since suffering a cerebral haemorrhage last month.
His publicist Betty Hofer said he was taken off a respirator at Skyline Medical Center in Nashville.
As a session musician he worked with artists such as Elvis Presley, Roy Orbison and Brenda Lee.
He co-wrote Yakety Sax, which went on to become his biggest solo hit, with guitarist James Rich.
