In Facebook post, Robbie Robertson writes of visiting Levon Helm
After decades of not speaking with each other, former Band guitarist Robbie Robertson and former Band drummer Levon Helm, who is dying of cancer, shared the same room over the weekend.
Robertson, a former Woodstock resident, posted his message on his Facebook page this afternoon:
"Last week I was shocked and so saddened to hear that my old band mate, Levon, was in the final stages of his battle with cancer. It hit me really hard because I thought he had beaten throat cancer and had no idea that he was this ill. I spoke with his family and made arrangements to go and see him.
On Sunday I went to New York and visited him in the hospital. I sat with Levon for a good while..., and thought of the incredible and beautiful times we had together. It was heartwarming to be greeted by his lovely daughter Amy, whom I have known since she was born. Amy’s mother, Libby Titus, and her husband, Donald Fagen, were so kind to help walk me through this terrible time of sadness. My thoughts and prayers are with his wife Sandy.
