Very sorry to hear this. I thought Levon had beat the throat cancer back around 2000 or so.
Levon started from humble beginnings (in Turkey Scratch, Arkansas) and went on to join one of the best groups that ever played acoustic/rock music. And he did it on his terms.
I highly recommend his book, “This Wheel’s On Fire”. Both his story, and the story of The Band.
Most folks who watch “The Last Waltz” don’t realize that much of the sound track was re-recorded in the studio, after the concert. Levon refused to re-dub afterwards — his singing and playing as heard in the movie is “as it was”.
Godspeed Levon.
And play on!
Read it a while back. It gets into the song writing royalties....Levon said Robbie ripped the others off
