LOS ANGELES: Grammy-winning country legend Lynn Anderson, who sprang to international stardom with her 1970s hit “Rose Garden”, has died at the age of 67, news reports said on Saturday.

Anderson died on Thursday of a heart attack at Vanderbilt Hospital in Nashville after being admitted for pneumonia, publicist Mark Logsdon told CNN.

Anderson had a string of other hits to become the biggest singer in country music of her era, before going on to moderate success as an actress.

But it was for “(I Never Promised You A) Rose Garden” that she will be most fondly remembered, topping the charts in countries across the world.
