Three weeks after his passing at age 86 on Feb. 27, Neil Sedaka‘s cause of death has been revealed. According to the New York Post, the “Love Will Keep Us Together” singer died of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, a chronic condition caused by the buildup of fats, cholesterol and other substances in artery walls — often referred to as plaque — which can cause arteries to narrow, blocking blood flow resulting in blood clots that can lead to heart attack or stroke, according to the Mayo Clinic.
The Post said kidney failure also contributed to Sedaka’s passing, according to a death certificate reportedly obtained by the paper, which noted that his occupation was listed as singer-songwriter and that he was embalmed at the Hollywood Funeral Home and buried at Beth Olam Cemetery in Los Angeles on March 3.
“Our family is devastated by the sudden passing of our beloved husband, father and grandfather, Neil Sedaka,” the singer’s family said in a statement posted to the singer’s Instagram account announcing the death of the legendary singer known for hits such as the Billboard Hot 100 No. 1s “Bad Blood,” “Breaking Up Is Hard to Do” and “Laughter in the Rain.”
“A true rock n’ roll legend, an inspiration to millions, but most importantly, at least to those of us who were lucky enough to know him, an incredible human being who will be deeply missed.”
Born March 13, 1939, in Brooklyn, N.Y., Sedaka began his career while still in his teens in the 1950s, becoming one of the world’s first teen pop stars. He formed the doo-wop group The Tokens before meeting his neighbor, Howard Greenfield, who would become his songwriting partner. According to Sedaka’s biography, their partnership helped the duo sell 40 million records between 1959 and 1964.
In all, Sedaka had 30 songs reach the Hot 100, with nine reaching the top 10, along with 11 albums that made it onto the Billboard 200 album chart, including 1975’s The Hungry Years, which hit No. 16, his chart peak, in December of that year.
In April 2024, Sedaka partnered with Primary Wave to acquire a stake to the masters and publishing rights of his entire catalog, including everything he wrote, performed and penned for other artists.
He released his final album in 2016, I Do It For Applause.
