Very sad news about Guy LeBlanc, the talented French Canadian keyboardist known for his work with Nathan Mahl and Camel: http://www.camelproductions.com/
I met him in 2011 at ProgDay, where he performed with The Rebel Wheel (a stunning set indeed), and remember him as a very nice gentleman, and a truly gifted musician. Though I knew he had serious health issues, I hoped he would be able to pull through. My thoughts go to his family and friends in this very sad moment. |

Very sad. Seeing him in action on the live Camel DVD `In From The Cold' was superb, was great to hear the whole band in terrific form with so much energy live.
Play some amazing keyboard solos in heaven, Guy!

I saw him with Nathan Mahl, brilliant, a real tragic loss, even more tragic is he is a virtual unknown but one of the most talented keyboard players ever.
Camel released excellent recordings with Leblanc, but sadly have gone unrecognized because too many only want to listen to the classic Camel of the 1970's

Very sad news. I quite enjoyed his work with both Camel and Nathan Mahl and his solo album All the Rage. Really enjoyed Nathan Mahl's last album. Knew he was ill but likewise was hoping he would recover. RIP sir.

I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you?

When he rides, my fears subside.
For darkness turns once more to light. Through the skies, his white horse flies. To find a land beyond the night. |

I am speechless.Looking at all this heavy work load Guy was carrying over the past few years I thought his was on the road to full recovery.No signs of quiting, a brave man indeed...He will be remembered, a top modern keyboardist to say the least.
