American musician and painter Don Van Vliet, best known by the stage name Captain Beefheart, has died aged 69.



Van Vliet's death in California, from complications from multiple sclerosis, was announced by the Michael Werner Gallery in New York.



Van Vliet was "one of the most original recording artists of his time", the gallery said in a statement.

Well before my time but have enjoyed his influence and links with the great Frank Zappa, with whom he will now be reunited in that studio in the sky.
