Sad to hear. I just got into the Band a year or two ago. His vocals and drumming were great.

Agree with hairy, The Band is amazing. 1/3 of the way through the year, and already so many great musicians have died.

I have The Band at the number 5 spot on my list, absolutely love that album. Music From Big Pink is great as well. He will be missed

It's sad 🙁 Great Canadian musician. I'm also with hairy when saying 'The Band' is one of the best albums ever.

That's too bad. His "King Fish" from Electric Dirt is a gem I found a few years ago on accident.

Sad news. This guy was one of the greatest drummers of all-time and, it would appear, a great man too. The album 'The Band' stands as one of rock's all-time masterpieces. It's one of those records, alongside albums like Astral Weeks, If I Could Only Remember My Name and Exile On Main Sreet, that ought to be in everybody's top 100 list. I feel really upset that this is another great musician we have lost.

Levon Helm RIP.

A large strong personality, singer and drummer (also other instruments) is gone. He has done in recent times of a reasonably good albums such as Electric Dirt.
Levon said that he has a privilege to be the best location in the concert, the drummer. Look at how the emotion he sings The Band's famous song "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down", Martin Scorsese's fabulous music documentary "The Last Waltz". It does not provide language-in-cheek, because Levon was a genuine dixie state of Arkansas. RIP, Levon.
