I've checked on an online dictionary that död stands for dead - can anyone confirm this apparent sad news?
 
Död does indeed stand för dead and this is indeed sad news. I just read about it in Dagens Nyheter, one of Swedens biggest newspapers. It must be one of the few times that SMM, Ramlösa kvällar and RIO is mentioned in that paper...
 
Anyway, R.I.P. Lars Hollmer.

Another sad loss of a splendid musician and composer with a rare ability to write complex music that could make men with hearts of steel smile.
 
Sleep well Lars, and thankyou for the music.

Crikey. I had no idea about this until five minutes ago when I stumbled onto the Samla Mammas Manna wiki page, which has the news unceremoniously plonked in the middle of the article.

He was a truly amazing, unique and brilliant force in music. His compositions do things to my mind and spark my imagination in ways that simply no one else's could ever do. RIP, Mr Hollmer, and thank you.
