Levon Helm, one of the 5 members of The Band, passed away very recently from throat cancer. He was born in 1940 and was the only member who was from the United States, the other 4 were Canadians. He was visited at the end by former Band member Robbie Robertson. Levon is survived by his daughter Amy who joined her father on a couple of successful comeback CD's.
Although music was his first love, he also appeared in a number of movies including Coal Miners Daughter and The Right Stuff.
A most gifted musician.
