Dr. John, the six-time Grammy Award winner whose gritty voodoo-inspired stage persona and whimsical way of speaking were as beloved in New Orleans as his piano-playing, has died. He was 77 years old.
A family statement released by his publicist says Dr. John, who was born Mac Rebennack, died early Thursday (June 6) of a heart attack.
