Robbie Robertson of The Band dies from Prostate Cancer

[jerrymahoney]

Robbie Robertson, songwriter and lead guitarist for legendary rock group The Band, is dead ... TMZ has confirmed.

 

Sources close to Robbie tell us he died Wednesday in Los Angeles after battling prostate cancer for about a year. We're told he'd been doing ok, recently, but on Tuesday he told his wife he wasn't feeling well, and she took him to a hospital.

We're told his wife got a call from the hospital in the early hours of Wednesday informing her Robbie had passed.

He died at 80, "after battling prostate cancer for about a year"

 

Was his cancer diagnosed too late?

 

What treatment did he get?
