Phil Spector, the influential music producer who has worked with the Beatles and Leonard Cohen, among others, has died at the age of 81, it was reported today (Sunday).
According to the TMZ website, he died as a result of complications caused after being infected with the corona virus.
Spector, who is identified with the "Sound Wall" technique, was convicted of the second-degree murder of actress Lena Clarkson in 2003, and sent to life in prison.
Throughout the trial, Spector claimed his innocence.
His lawyers claimed that Clarkson, whom Spector met at the club several hours before her death, committed suicide due to depression that struck her due to her professional failures as an actress.
The prosecution claimed that the shooting at Clarkson was carried out during a violent game that Spector used to perform with women in the past.
During the trial Spector did not appear on the witness stand.

Spector is considered one of the most important music producers in the history of pop.
Throughout his career, Spector has worked with the Beatles, the Rontes, Leonard Cohen and many other artists.
His great legacy is the "sound wall" method that actually changed the perception towards pop music.
However, Spector's biography paints a rather problematic life story: his father committed suicide, his sister was hospitalized in mental institutions and Spector himself was diagnosed with depression.
In 2006, during the first trial, Spector married for the fourth time to actress Rachel Short, who is about 30 years younger than him.
