Shane_B. Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 It felt like someone punched me in the stomach when I read your thread title. I'm so sad right now. Truly the end of an era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keni Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 Ouch! I felt that too! I’m still reading his daily twitter posts. I had no idea. Do you know what he died from ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
57Gregy Posted August 10, 2023 Author Share Posted August 10, 2023 (edited) I didn't see that. He was 80, though. Edited August 10, 2023 by 57Gregy removed bad link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Notes_Norton Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 As I get older, I think to myself, “80 is much too soon to go”. RIP Robbie, you wrote some very nice songs that will live on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw a short video last night that said it was Prostate Cancer, but it wasn't from an official news source. I highly recommend the documentary Once Were Brothers. It will change how you look at him, for the better. He wasn't the bad guy ... Edited August 10, 2023 by Shane_B. Fixed typo. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never saw him as a bad guy though I did wish he hadn’t been so set on disbanding The Band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that he isn’t a lot all by himself, but without "the guys" it’s feeling awful lean. Worst part of this age group! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

telecode 101 Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 this was. very sad news to me. i was a big robbie robertson fan. his first solo record had a big impact on me. after that i discovered The Band and Rich Dankos records. Danko made an amazing solo album in the 70s too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was a few miles from there working last summer for a week. I really wanted to go there and seek him out but didn't have time. I would love to meet him before it's too late. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
