The son of legendary singer Frank Sinatra has passed away aged 72, after a heart attack in Florida.

He cancelled a show after telling management he felt "lightheaded", and was taken to Halifax Medical Center to receive treatment.

TMZ reports he suffered a fatal heart attack in hospital.

The younger Sinatra was famously kidnapped at Lake Tahoe and held for ransom as a 19-year-old.

His father Frank Sinatra Sr also died of a heart attack, in 1998.
