Sad news indeed. He had been ill for years, so at least he has now found peace.

I am so saddened by this terrible news. Bo Hansson introduced me to the magic of Scandinavia, to  hobbits long before modern day movie dramas, Findhorn, Attic Thoughts and last but not least the epic album covering Watership Down. A truly great Swedish genius. Your music will live on forever Bo Hansson.......you are with El- ahrairah now.

Oh that's a huge loss for the prog community.  His music was wonderful.  Condolences to his family and many friends.

oh no

Hansson was so important over many genres including an impact on film, World music, and jazz/fusion (and Prog of course).  One of the ten most important early prog artists to hear, IMO.

RIP, Bo, and thanks for the great work.

HI PROG FRIENDS, THIS IS CESAR INCA.

 
Unuckily, the march of time keeps on determining our cycles of life and death. Now it is the time to wave goodbye to BO HANSSON, precursor of prog rock in Sweden, he died on April 24th, just a few weeks after his 67th birthday.
 
His first three albums “Music Inspired by Lord of the Rings” “Ur trollkarlens hatt" (#Magician’s Hat”) and “Attic Thoughts" remain vital in a good progressive collection. 

 

For those who can reed Swedish:   http://svt.se/2.27170/1.1979414/organisten_bo_hansson_avliden  

 
Thank you for the music, Master Hansson!!
