Barry White passed away this morning in Los Angeles’ Cedars Sinai Hospital due to kidney failure. He was 58.

“Barry was admitted to the hospital right after his birthday in September last year. For months we let the press from around the world ’spin the stories’ from their unique point of view,” said his longtime manager Ned Shankman.

“Barry’s kidneys had failed and he was on dialysis but in good spirits. In Barry’s case, the kidney failure resulted from hyper-tension. Barry continued to fight, getting care at the finest hospital from the finest medical help available,” Shankman said.

White is survived by 8 children.
