According to the news, which of the following statements is TRUE?

The British broadcaster and jazz musician Humphrey Lyttelton has died at the age of 86. Known to millions of radio listeners as the urbane presenter of panel games, like "I am sorry I haven’t a clue", Humphrey Lyttelton first came to fame as a trumpet player and band leader in the 1940s. In 1956, his Bad Penny Blues was the first British jazz record to enter the top 20. Although broadcasting claimed more of his time from the 1970s onwards, Humph, as he was generally known, continued recording and touring with his band until well into his 80s.
