New photo Chas’s wife and co-star Dave reveal pneumonia killed the late musician

Chas Hodges of the iconic music duo Chas and Dave died of pneumonia, according to the band's official Twitter page.

Thanking fans for the 'thousands of messages' of support since the performer died on Saturday aged 74, the post clarified that he 'did not die of cancer' after he was diagnosed last year. 

The message, written on behalf of Chas's wife, Joan, as well as his children and co-performer Dave Peacock, read: 'For the record, we would like to clarify that Chas did not die of cancer.

Written on behalf of wife Joan (pictured, below, with Chas) as well as his children and Dave, the post (above) reveals that Chas's cancer was under control when he died after he was diagnosed last year 

When Chas Hodges was diagnosed with oesophageal cancer last year, he recorded a track called Sling Your Hook with musical partner Dave Peacock (pictured)

'The doctor's final diagnostic was pneumonia and the cancer was under control at the time of death.

'We feel this is important to state as Chas wanted to bring comfort and hope to people suffering with cancer through his own experience with the disease, and it would mean a lot to him that the hope remains.' 

The clarification came after the duo's page issued a statement on September 2 saying that the performer had 'passed away peacefully'. The original statement mentioned recent treatment for oesophageal cancer. 

Chas and Dave were responsible for four FA Cup singles for the football club, including Ossie's Dream (Spurs Are On Their Way To Wembley) in 1981

Chas and Dave's official Twitter account announced the 74-year-old singer's death this afternoon

It read: 'It is with tremendous sadness that we announce the passing of our very own Chas Hodges. 

'Despite receiving successful treatment for oesophageal cancer recently, Chas suffered organ failure and passed away peacefully in his sleep in the early hours of this morning.'

When Hodges was diagnosed with cancer, the duo responded by writing a song called 'Sling Your Hook', which Hodges told the Mail On Sunday was his 'f*** off to cancer'.

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.

Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”

Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”
