One of Britain's most enduring double acts, Cockney duo Chas & Dave, is to end.
Bass player Dave Peacock has decided to retire from the band following the death of his wife. He had been replaced for a series of live dates.
The duo were known for a number of hits such as 'Gertcha', 'Rabbit' and 'Ain't No Pleasing You' during the late 1970s and 1980s.
Listen to the duo perform 'Rabbit'.
The band's agent Barry Collings said: "Dave has now decided that he will not be coming back and wanted to retire."
Peacock and Chas Hodges were session musicians before hooking up to launch their own act, which had elements of rock and music hall with a touch of the pub-rock movement of the time, in the mid-1970s.
The duo also recorded a number of songs for Tottenham Hotspur including 'Ossie's Dream (Spurs Are On Their Way To Wembley)', which featured Ossie Ardiles and his mispronunciation of "Tottingham".
They also had the distinction of appearing on the worldwide hit 'My Name Is' by Eminem. The pair worked on the Labi Siffre track 'I Got The' in their session days, which US rapper Eminem sampled for his hit.
Peacock withdrew from the group during the summer when his wife Sue, 62, lost her fight against lung cancer. They had been married for 36 years.
Hodges will continue to play all the pair's contracted tour dates and is launching his own act Chas And His Band.
