Rivervalleymgb Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 Can't find anything in the news. A lot of Leon Lifer's are unaware and asking me for sources. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarheel Posted November 13, 2016 Author Share Posted November 13, 2016 Google Leon Russell's death. I saw it on FB and then googled it. Wikipedia confirmed he died 11-13-16. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rivervalleymgb Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 Googled the Google New and nothing had been posted. I just received notice that it was just posted on his FB page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tarheel Posted November 13, 2016 Author Share Posted November 13, 2016 Yes there was a report on the 11th that his death was a hoax. Two days later he really died? Coincidence? Still digging for more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fish Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 If it's true it's very bad news. Leon made a huge impact on my musical life, Leon Live is one of the greatest recordings ever made in my book. I am glad there are at least a few members still here that know who Leon is. RIP to a fantastic musician and singer. Get outta here Hippy boy ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talk about two ends of the rope. Loved Leon and couldn't hardly stand Leonard! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimjimbo Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 Oh man. One of my all time favorites. Probably the best concert I ever saw in my life was early 70's when he toured with the Gap Band. RIP Leon. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
