Veteran actor and pop singer Bobby Rydell is no more. According to Variety, the former `60s teen idol, known for the songs `Wildwood Days` and `Volare`, died of complications from pneumonia last week.

His demise was confirmed by radio legend Jerry Blavat, Rydell`s longtime friend from the singer`s South Philadelphia stomping grounds. "Out of all the kids" from that era, he had the best pipes and was the greatest entertainer.
