Advertising: Sony's monkey dies of old age

The monkey who held a Sony Corp Walkman player in his hand while wearing a headset in a TV commercial aired in the late 1980s, has died of old age in Japan. The monkey, known by its stage name Choromatsu, was 29, equivalent to roughly 100 years old for a human.

It's not known if his daughter will follow in his footsteps and appear on US chat shows.
