Renowned German music producer Frank Farian has died at the age of 82, his representatives announced.
Farian is best known for his success with Boney M in the 1970s, where he was responsible for hits such as Daddy Cool, Rasputin and Brown Girl in the Ring.
Farian, who came from the town of Kirin in rural southwest Germany, died at his home in Miami.
During his career, Farian was also involved in one of the biggest scandals in pop music history when it was revealed that his protégés, boy band Milli Vanilli, had lip-synced during their Grammy-winning performance.
