Apparently, he had complained of chest pains the previous evening at his home in
Indiantown, Florida.
Jones leaves behind his loving family, wife Jessica and four daughters from two previous marriages.
Jones joined The Monkees in 1965, and the star soon rose to fame with hits like 'Last Train to Clarksville', 'Daydream Believer', 'I Wanna Be Free' and 'I'm a Believer'. After the group initially split in 1970, Jones went it alone and took part in a solo tour.

Also an actor, Jones appeared in the British soap opera Coronation Street and Z Cars as a teenager. Aswell as this he also tried acting in Hollywood, appearing in children's TV shows like Spongebob Squarepants and The Brady Bunch. But of course more famously was the whole band's TV show, also named The Monkees.
Such sad news, RIP Davy Jones. Gone too soon.
