"With our hearts, we announce that this morning, May 30, 2019, Leon Redbone has crossed the delta towards this magnificent shore." He left our world with his guitar, Rover's faithful companion, and greeted him from the top of his hat, a release written in the characteristic style of the musician, known for the mystery that he kept around of his person.
The cause or place of death has not been mentioned. The musician retired in 2015 because of health problems.
With a stage presence reminiscent of the mix of American guitarist Frank Zappa, French jazz legend Marcel Zanini and comedian Groucho Marx, Leon Redbone revealed that he was born in Cyprus, Dickran Gobalian, before emigrating in Canada in the 1960s – coming out of an old music hall, considered a jazz, folk or blues musician.
Redbone loved to recreate the vanished world of "minstrel shows" – traveling musical tours in the southern United States from the late 19th century to the 1929 crisis. He toured celebrities in the 1970s, appearing in Famous Shows American films such as "Saturday Night Live" and "Tonight Show" by Johnny Carson in the 1980s.
Paradoxically, one of his most famous songs was "Please, do not talk about me when I'm gone" (Please, do not talk about me when I'll be left). A documentary on Redbone in 2018 has received the same title.
The musician has released 16 albums, starting with "On the Track" in 1975 and ending with "Flying By" in 2014
