Nightclub owner Peter Stringfellow has died at the age of 77, a spokesman has said.

The businessman, who had cancer which he had kept private, died in the early hours of Thursday morning.

The so-called King of Clubs opened many venues around the world and his eponymous club in London's West End became a magnet for celebrities.

The Beatles, The Kinks and Jimi Hendrix were among those he booked in his six decades in the industry.

RIP indeed - though didn't he once get voted as more despised than Hitler in a 90's poll among young people?
i think I saw that on HIGNFY, so it maybe have just been one of Ian Hislops jokes, I don't remember now.
