So it would seem another one of my heroes has passed on sadly. Eduard Khil, musician, singer, actor and painter, so Im told. I think this has hit me harder then most. I was a fan of his acting and his singing in general. Admittedly it was the trololo video that got me interested in him. Being a westerner he would have faded into obscurity for me. But thanks to the internet that is not the case! I am sure his family welcomes our deepest sympathies and I am glad to know this man will be laid to rest with honours of his homeland. A hero to his homeland and to all the people of the world.

Sleep well comrade. Ill see you at the bar when my time comes.
