Italian composer Ennio Morricone, the mastermind behind many iconic Spaghetti Western soundtracks, has died following complications from a fall at the age of 91.
Morricone won two Oscar awards, one in 2007 and another in 2016, and was world-renowned for his partnership with Sergio Leone, producing the soundtracks for films such as ‘For a Few Dollars More’ and ‘The Good, the Bad and the Ugly’.
He died in Rome after suffering complications from a fall last week in which he reportedly broke his femur.
The composer and conductor wrote the music for over 500 films throughout his illustrious career.
