Monty Norman, the man who designed the iconic James Bond theme, passed away at the age of 94. He is survived by his second wife, Rina Caesari, and a daughter.

A statement posted on his official website said, “It is with sadness we share the news that Monty Norman died on 11th July, 2022 after a short illness.” Norman most famously composed the score for Dr No, the 1962 Bond film starring Sean Connery. His theme for James Bond, as arranged by fellow Englishman John Barry, would go on to become the theme for the entire franchise.
