Musicians Roadhouse

Leon Russell, who achieved rare fame as a session musician by playing with artists from The Rolling Stones to Elton John and pursuing his own eclectic career, has died. He was 74.

Russell, who remained active and had tour dates in front of him, died in his sleep at his home in Nashville, his wife said in a statement Sunday without further details.

2016 - so bad for the musicians - so many left us...

How is it possible Keith Richards is still breathing?

lol. sheer tenacity, good genes and I think doing something you love may help you live longer. he also lives by his own rules I think.

he has also always been very thin so he has avoided a lot of health issues from being thin. he also laughs a lot although those lines on his face are not just from laughing from rough living too.

oh yea.....blood transfusions too

he still ran very hard though, I think he is about out of gas.
