Movie composer Kamen dies at 55
Grammy-winning composer Michael Kamen has died of a suspected heart attack at his home in London.
Kamen, 55, was best known for his movie soundtracks as well as his work with bands such as Aerosmith and Pink Floyd.
His most recent award was in 2001 when he won a Grammy for his work on Metallica's song The Call of Ktulu.
In 1992 he was nominated for an Oscar for Bryan Adams' song (Everything I Do) I Do it For You, from the film Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves.
Four years later he picked up a further nomination, again for work with Adams, for the song Have You Ever Really Loved A Woman, from the film Don Juan DeMarco.
Kamen also worked on the orchestral arrangements for Pink Floyd's 1979 album The Wall, and worked with the band on the albums The Final Cut and The Division Bell.
He also worked with the London Philharmonic Orchestra, jazz saxophonist David Sanborn, and rock stars Sting, Rod Stewart, David Bowie and Eric Clapton.
Kamen also won a Grammy in 1996 for best instrumental arrangement on An American Symphony, inspired by his work on Richard Dreyfuss' musical drama Mr Holland's Opus.
Inspired by the film, Kamen set up a charity to make musical instruments available to children.
He leaves a wife and two children.

METALLICA have issued the following statement regarding the recent passing of their "S&M" collaborator, Michael Kamen:
"The METALLICA family is saddened by the loss of our good friend and 'S&M' collaborator, Michael Kamen on Tuesday, November 18th. Michael lost his battle with multiple sclerosis at the age of 55.
"In addition to working with us on 'S&M', Michael enjoyed a very successful career composing for films such as 'Lethal Weapon' and 'Die Hard'. He worked with PINK FLOYD, AEROSMITH, ROD STEWART, ERIC CLAPTON, DAVID BOWIE, and many others pioneering the fusion of orchestral arrangements with rock, and is the winner of several Grammy Awards, including one for 'S & M'.
"'S&M' was Michael's idea, Michael's brainchild. He said he had always felt that our music lent itself to a collaboration with an orchestra, and from the time he approached us with the idea at that first breakfast meeting in 1997, to the day after the final mixes were complete on the record and the DVD, through the performances in Berlin, New York, and Las Vegas, we enjoyed two extremely fun, challenging, and creative years together. Michael will be missed by all of us, and will always remain an integral part of the METALLICA family.
"Please join us in paying our respects to Michael and his family. If you would like to make a contribution in Michael's memory, the Kamen family asks that donations be made to the Mr. Holland's Opus Foundation. After composing the music for the film of the same name, Michael was inspired to do something to keep music alive in schools across the country, and through this foundation he has made it possible to continue to inspire and teach future generations of musicians. Donations may be made by mail, phone or online." For more information, visit:
