Tributes have been pouring in following the death of American veteran TV presenter Dick Clark, 82, who died following a heart attack on Wednesday.

He produced and presented a host of programmes including American Bandstand and an annual New Year's Eve special.

Actor Jack Black said he will be "sorely missed" and musician Moby paid tribute to Clark's influence on pop music.

Singer Sheryl Crow and actor Martin Short both said Clark had introduced The Jackson 5 to America.

Actress Rita Wilson said: "He was an incredible man, he had a lot of elegance, a lot of class, a really good spirit, there was nothing negative about him".
