Jazz lost one of its towering figures on Monday as legendary saxophonist Sonny Rollins died at the age of 95. His death was confirmed in a statement shared on his official website 'with deep sorrow and profound love', while publicist Terri Hinte also confirmed the news. No cause of death was revealed, though the statement noted that Rollins died at his home in Woodstock, New York, on Monday afternoon.
While tributes quickly poured in for the man often called the 'Saxophone Colossus', many fans were also surprised to learn about the jazz icon's financial standing before his death.
