Little Richard, the pompadoured prince of rock 'n' roll who injected "wop bop a loo bop" into popular music and influenced musicians from The Beatles to Prince, has died at 87.
Jeff Epstein, his manager, confirmed his death Saturday morning. His attorney William Sobel said he died as a result of bone cancer.
