Legendary singer-songwriter Neil Sedaka -- who gained worldwide fame in
the 1960s -- has died at age 86 ... TMZ has learned.

We learned earlier today, Neil wasn't feeling well Friday morning and was
taken in an ambulance to a hospital.

Sedaka's family tells TMZ ... "Our family is devastated by the sudden
passing of our beloved husband, father and grandfather, Neil Sedaka. A
true rock and roll legend, an inspiration to millions, but most
importantly, at least to those of us who were lucky enough to know him, an incredible human being who will be deeply missed."

Earlier today, the L.A. County West Hollywood sheriff's station told TMZ
... deputies assisted the fire department on a medical request call, and paramedics transported him to a local hospital at about 8 AM today.

Neil had multiple No. 1 hits in the early '60s ... including "Oh! Carol," "Calendar Girl," and "Breaking Up is Hard to Do." He saw a career
resurgence in the mid-1970s with the success of his songs "Laughter in the Rain" and "Bad Blood." He was a founding member of the Tokens in the late 1950s.
