Donna Summer, whose disco anthems included "Last Dance", "Love to Love You Baby", "Bad Girls" and "I Feel Love", has died at the age of 63.

Her family released a statement saying Summer died on Thursday morning and that they "are at peace celebrating her extraordinary life and her continued legacy".
