Dick Clark Dead at 82 - Yahoo! TV (http://tv.yahoo.com/news/dick-clark-dead-at-82.html)
Dick Clark, one of America's greatest television personalities, has died yesterday at the age of 82. He is credited with bringing Americans closer through live music performances on television with the TV show American Bandstand, and later began hosting New Year's Rockin' Eve on ABC from 1972 to 2003, as he suffered a stroke in 2004, leaving Regis Philbin (who just retired last year) to fill in for him that year. He would later return as an in-studio host in 2005, sharing the host role with American Idol's Ryan Seacrest, and would remain in that role until 2011, which would be his final television appearance, before he died yesterday from a heart attack.
Now that Dick Clark is gone, New Year's Rockin' Eve will not feel the same anymore without him counting down the clock. We previously experienced it only once, when he had a stroke in 2004, and Regis Philbin filled in for him that year. Now that he is dead, we will never see him host New Year's Eve ever again.
Dick Clark: November 30, 1929 - April 18, 2012
Farewell, and RIP.
