His family was by his side.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Vidal is credited with creating the famous haircut called the \"bob.\"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt=\"0509_bob_haircut_victoria_beckham_katy_perry_paris_getty\" src=\"http://ll-media.tmz.com/2012/05/09/0509-bob-haircut-victoria-beckham-katy-perry-paris-getty-1.jpg\" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Vidal was reportedly diagnosed with leukemia in 2009. It's unclear what role the cancer played in his death.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The hair icon was married four times -- most recently to &lt;strong&gt;Rhonda Sassoon&lt;/strong&gt; in 1992, who stayed with him until his death. He is also survived by three children. Vidal was 84.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Vidal seemed pretty healthy right up until the end -- in fact, we spoke to him just last week ... and he gave us some pretty useful hair tips.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;{{tmz_video_0}}"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
