Peter Stringfellow, the flamboyant nightclub owner who was a magnet for celebrities, has died at the age of 77 from cancer.
The businessman, who had wanted to keep his illness private, died early on Thursday after spending time in hospital.
His publicist, Matt Glass, said: "It's very sad news. He passed away in the early hours of this morning.
"It was kept very private, he didn't want to tell. He wanted to keep it a secret."
Stringfellow - known as the King of Clubs - started in the nighttime trade in the early 1960s and recalled booking acts including The Beatles, The Kinks and Jimi Hendrix to play at his clubs.
The guy lived the life he must have banged 100s of sexy women.
