NEW YORK (AP) — Ricci Martin, the musician son of entertainment legend Dean Martin, has died. He was 62.
Martin died Wednesday at his home in Utah, his family announced Saturday. A cause of death has not been determined.
The youngest son of Dean Martin, Ricci Martin became an entertainer, himself. In the 1990s, he joined the band Dino, taking the place of his late brother Dean Paul Martin. Martin later performed a touring tribute show to his father, singing his hits and telling stories.
In 2002, Martin wrote a memoir, "That's Amore," about growing up in Beverly Hills, California, as a member of the famous family.
Martin is survived by three daughters, Pepper, Montana and Rio; his mother, Jeanne Martin; his older brother, Craig; and four sisters, Gail, Deana, Gina and Sasha.
