New Photos Show Decline Of Pop Music Icon Phil Spector

Phil Spector
Newly released photos of Phil Spector show the toll of age and prison on the once flamboyant music legend.

CBS News and the AP report the most recent photo shows a bald, somber-looking 73-year-old Spector staring straight into the camera on Oct. 28, 2013.

California Department of Corrections spokeswoman Terry Thornton said Tuesday that the October photo was taken when Spector was moved to the prison system's huge California Heath Care Facility in Stockton. The facility provides medical and mental health care to the state's sickest inmates, including those with chronic conditions.

He is serving 19 years to life for the 2003 killing of actress Lana Clarkson.

The legendary music producer revolutionized rock music with his "Wall of Sound" before his genius was eclipsed by decades of bizarre behavior that culminated in his conviction for murder.
