French singer Charles Aznavour, who rose to global fame with his iconic song 'She' in 1974, has reportedly died at the age of 94. The songwriter had apparently just returned from a concert tour of Japan last month and was found dead in his home in Alpilles in southeastern France.

Last year, the French singer had to cancel a lot of his pre-planned concerts after he broke his arm in an accident. Aznavour has sold more than 100 million records in 80 countries and was considered to be France's Frank Sinatra.
