Legendary Australian singer and guitarist Frank Ifield has died aged 86. 
Frank, who was born in England but grew up in Australia, boasted a glittering music career that began when he was just 13 years old. 

By the time he was 19, Frank was the number one recording artist in Australia and New Zealand.

Taking a risk at the peak of his stardom Down Under, Frank moved to London in 1959 and went on to release four number-one hits on the UK singles chart - his cover versions of the songs I Remember You, Lovesick Blues, The Wayward Wind and Confessin' That I Love You.

    To me, although it fell short.  It was a matinee performance and there was hardly anyone there, so I just nipped around to the row in front where they landed and got them.
