" Robbie Robertson, Leader of The Band, Dies at 80



Guitarist-songwriter-singer Robbie Robertson, who led the Canadian-American group the Band to rock prominence in the 1970s and worked extensively with Bob Dylan and Martin Scorsese, has died. He was 80.

According to an announcement from his management, Robertson died Wednesday in Los Angeles after a long illness.

After the Band’s 1976 farewell concert “The Last Waltz” ( LINK: https://youtu.be/Z2eTW8qZBtk) was captured on film by Scorsese, Robertson worked with the director as composer, music supervisor, and music producer starting in 1980 on films including “Raging Bull,” “The King of Comedy,” “The Color of Money,” “Gangs of New York,” “The Departed,” “Shutter Island,” “The Wolf of Wall Street,” “Silence,” “The Irishman” and “Killers of the Flower Moon.”

However, he is best known for the classic songs he wrote for the Band, including “The Weight,” “Up on Cripple Creek,” “The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down,” “The Shape I’m In” and “It Makes No Difference.” His story with The Band was captured in the 2019 documentary “Once Were Brothers.“"

Bob Barker, who starred for more than five consecutive decades as a TV game-show host, including 35 as the host of The Price Is Right, has died, according to his representative. He was 99 years old.

“It is with profound sadness that we announce that the World’s Greatest MC who ever lived, Bob Barker has left us,” publicist Roger Neal said in a statement to NBC News on Saturday.

"He had a beautiful life," Neal told CBS.

Barker began his game show hosting career in 1956, when his mentor, producer Ralph Edwards, hired him to host Truth or Consequences. Barker famously used his TV platform to advocate for the rights and well-being of animals, signing off episodes of The Price Is Right with what would become his catchphrase: “Help control the pet population, have your pets spayed or neutered."
