Stage designer Mark Fisher, known for his groundbreaking work designing stage set-ups for the likes of The Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, U2 and many others, has died aged 66, following a "long and difficult illness".

Bernie Nolan has died aged 52 after a long battle with cancer. The singer, actress and TV presenter was diagnosed with cancer for the second time last year after previously beating breast cancer in 2010. As lead singer of the hit Irish girlband, The Nolans, Bernie toured the world with her siblings. She leaves behind husband Steve Doneathy and daughter Erin, 14.

The gifted and versatile jazz pianist Mulgrew Miller has died aged 57 after a stroke.

The blues musician, the son of a sharecropper who grew up in the segregated Deep South, came to music late in life and was self taught, and only began recording albums such as Jack Daniel Time and Taledragger at the end of his career. His precise date of birth was unknown, but he was thought to be 93 when he passed away.
