Lou Reed is dead.

The legendary rocker died on Saturday at age 71, according to reports.

Reed was best known for co-founding The Velvet Underground, in which he played guitar and sang until leaving the band in 1970.

He went on to have a prolific solo career for the next four decades.

Reed underwent a liver transplant earlier this year. His wife Laurie Anderson said he was “dying” until he had the procedure done.

No cause of death has been released.
