“Robbie was surrounded by his family at the time of his death, including his wife, Janet, his ex-wife Dominique, his partner Nicolas, and his children Alexandra, Sebastian, Delphine, and Delphine’s partner Kenny,” the statement began, per Variety. “He is also survived by his grandchildren Angelica, Donovan, Dominic, Gabriel, and Seraphina. Robertson recently completed his fourteenth film music project with frequent collaborator Martin Scorsese, ‘Killers Of The Flower Moon.’ In lieu of flowers, the family has requested that donations be made to support the new Woodland Cultural Center,” the statement concluded.
The latest photo on Robertson’s Instagram account appears to have been posted this morning: a photo of the musician’s memoir, “Testimony.” She posted a vintage photo yesterday in honor of International Cat Day.
Scorsese is also best known for working with Robertson and The Band on the 1970s concert film, “The Last Waltz.”
The curated concert features musicians from Neil Young to Bob Dylan, to Joni Mitchell. The show was The Band’s final performance, and was filmed on Thanksgiving Day in 1976, and released two years later.
