Music legend Chuck Berry passes away, age 90

Reports have emerged that Chuck Berry, a pioneer of rock and roll music, has died at the age of 90.

The St. Louis native was responsible for such hit songs as 'Johnny B. Goode', 'Sweet Little Sixteen' and 'Roll Over Beethoven'. Berry passed away in his home state of Missouri on Saturday afternoon, and was confirmed dead by police who responded to a medical emergency call at the musician's home. "The St. Charles County Police Department sadly confirms the death of Charles Edward Anderson Berry Sr., better known as legendary musician Chuck Berry. The family requests privacy during this time of bereavement." Tributes have already begun to roll in for Berry, with many remembering the iconic scene from Back To The Future where Marty McFly rocks out to 'Johnny B. Goode', inspiring Berry to write the song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1i5coU-0_Q https://twitter.com/PMcLoone/status/843229587190550532 https://twitter.com/iamblizzard/status/843229595235209217 https://twitter.com/PaddyMcKenna/status/843228626879504389 https://twitter.com/Triggerfingerrr/status/843229774243946496 https://twitter.com/Carole_King/status/843229694317252608 https://twitter.com/johnlennon/status/843228426442084352 https://twitter.com/StephenKing/status/843226979126206464
