Notable rock artist Lou Reed, who straddled the worlds of mainstream and avant-garde art, has died at the age of 71. He had undergone a liver transplant earlier this year, but his liver disease proved untreatable in the end.

As lead singer, guitarist, and chief songwriter for the Velvet Underground, Reed was one of the pioneers of integrating the worlds of high-concept art and rock music. Throughout his career, he defied expectations of fans, producing everything from experimental noise to successful pop songs.

He is survived by his wife, Laurie Anderson.
