A highly influential musician, known for his singing, guitar playing, songwriting, and composing, as well as being an original member of the Band, passed away last August at the age of 80. This came shortly after he finished working on the Oscar-nominated score for Martin Scorsese’s film “Killers of the Flower Moon.” Robertson drew inspiration for this project from his heritage as the son of a mother who grew up near Toronto on the Six Nations Reserve. Scorsese, who is famous for recording the Band’s farewell concert in 1978’s “The Last Waltz,” held a private tribute to Robertson in November at Village Studios in West Los Angeles and is listed as an executive producer of the event that took place in October.
Blackbird Presents, the company behind Willie Nelson’s two-night 90th birthday concert held last year at the Hollywood Bowl, is organizing a concert at the Forum. This upcoming event marks the 50-year anniversary of the Band’s iconic tour with Bob Dylan, which concluded at the Inglewood arena in 1974.
