I have just found this out and maybe had heard back in April but let pass me by .
He was and will forever be one of the great  organ players .
The music will hold forever.
Lord of the Rings was truly an inspiring piece for me over the years.
See you someday old friend.

Prog Sphere just completed an article concerning Bo Hansson's work (and life), as well as the artists/bands/albums that have been influenced by this truly prog legend. Find out more of Bosse's solo work, his collaboration with drummer Janne Karlsson and the artists/bands that inherited and discourse Bo Hansson's work. The article named Bo Hansson: A Retrospective with Eyes on the Future is on http://prog-sphere.blogspot.com/2010/05/bo-hansson-retrospective-with-eyes-on.html

Very sad to hear of Bo's death. His music transcends time. People will be listening to it in a hundred years. Rest in peace.

Such an influential musician not only in Sweden but throughout the world. Listening to "Lord Of The Rings" right now in his honour. RIP Bo.

Cry
From the Gate of Kings the North Wind rides, and past the roaring falls;
And clear and cold about the tower its loud horn calls.
'What news from the North, O mighty wind, do you bring to me today?
What news of Boromir the Bold? For he is long away.'
'Beneath Amon Hen I heard his cry. There many foes he fought.
His cloven shield, his broken sword, they to the water brought.
His head so proud, his face so fair, his limbs they laid to rest;
And Rauros, golden Rauros-falls, bore him upon its breast.'
'O Boromir! The Tower of Gaurd shall ever northward gaze
To Rauros, golden Rauros-falls, until the end of days.'
                                                                        ----JRR Tolkien
What?

Shock news to me i gre up listening his albums in the early 90's a great composer and musician.
 
Ironically yesterday when i was looking the difference between the original an remasters Led Zepp Cd's i found this:
 
 
Well at least he will play Tax Free with Hendrix and Redding.
 
RIP.
