🚨Robbie Robertson, the chief composer and lead guitarist for The Band, a group that helped to inspire the genre that came to be known as Americana, has died. He was 80 years old. According to an announcement from his manager of 34 years, Jared Levine, Robertson died Wednesday in Los Angeles after a long illness. Levine said, “Robbie was surrounded by his family at the time of his death, including his wife, Janet, his ex-wife, Dominique, her partner Nicholas, and his children Alexandra, Sebastian, Delphine, and Delphine’s partner Kenny. He is also survived by his grandchildren Angelica, Donovan, Dominic, Gabriel and Seraphina. Robertson recently completed his fourteenth film music project with frequent collaborator Martin Scorsese, ‘Killers of the Flower Moon.’" "In lieu of flowers," he continued, "the family has asked that donations be made to the Six Nations of the Grand River to support a new Woodland Cultural Center.” #wuc #kcm #knowitall #katiecouricmedia #theband #robbierober...
