Rocker Ronnie Wood has paid tribute to soul star Bobby Womack and says he was reduced to tears after hearing the news of his death.
The 70-year-old soul singer legend, whose career spanned more than 50 years, passed away in his sleep.
Wood, 67, took to Twitter to express his grief and recalled how the singer's voice often reduced him to tears.
"I am so sad to hear about my friend Bobby Womack- the man who could make you cry when he sang has brought tears to my eyes with his passing," he wrote.
Womack sought treatment in rehab in the 1980's for drug addiction, and later battled a series of health problems, including colon cancer, diabetes, pneumonia and showed early signs of Alzheimer's disease.
