Celebrity hairstylist John Frieda has died, aged 75, according to BBC News, which reported the death in an article published on the same day the news emerged.

BBC News reported that Frieda was stylist to the stars in the 1960s and 1970s before creating a global range of hair products. The summary of that report does not add further detail on the stages of his career between those two roles.

The Guardian, in a report by Caroline Davies, described Frieda as a businessman who styled stars such as Twiggy, Madonna and Joanna Lumley. The newspaper said he created the hair care line Frizz Ease and launched his own bestselling hair product range. Its report is headlined The Guardian's full coverage of the death.

The Guardian also reported that a post by Frieda's salon on Instagram said he "passed away peacefully" and was surrounded by his family. The salon's post, as quoted by The Guardian, said the news was shared with heavy hearts.

The two reports differ in emphasis. BBC News introduced Frieda as a celebrity hairstylist, while The Guardian placed his business career first, calling him a businessman. The available summaries of both reports do not say where or how Frieda died, and they do not give funeral arrangements.
