Looks like my all time favourite singing drummer is losing his battle with cancer...

I guess we're in that time period when many rock heroes are reaching the age that they're gonna check out with regularity. Sad days.

Sad days indeed. He's been ill a long, long time.

Gretchen Peters was where I picked this up first on Facebook. Really sad.

I remember as a kid watching the Last Waltz and thinking, thats cool, a drummer that sings!

Anyone who hasn't seen Festival Express, get it.

Very sad news.

[audidoody]

Heck of a drummer. Heck of a voice. RIP

Only Robbie and Garth left.

Will put "Cripple Creek" on the iPod and raise a glass.

[Gaspode]

Yes indeed, a sad day. RIP Levon

[tubbystu]

RIP Levon.

Moondog Matinee will be on later and a glass raised.

RIP Levon.

Hearing Music from Big Pink 40-odd years ago played a big part in shaping my taste in music.
