I hadn't heard. What a shame.
He lived in the Woodstock area and was the first to throw a benefit for local causes. He'll be sorely missed.

Levon Helm was born and raised not far from where I live and I went to school with his neice.I only met him twice but he was fun to talk with and remembered his roots.I enjoyed his music and I'll never forget the role he played in the movie "Shooter" with Mark Wahlberg.Levon talked and acted just like the character in the movie,crusty and with a sense of humor.R.I.P. Levon,you'll be missed.

Very sad to hear this. I love the Band. He was a very talented
man. A great musician and a very good actor.
I loved him in Coal Miner's Daughter.
Is Robbie Robertson the only living member
of the Band left? I know Rick Danko and Richard
are dead, not sure about Garth Hudson.
Also, Bernie Taupin called the Elton John
song Levon after Levon Helm, cause he liked
the name.
