Robert Gordon Cause of Death

Robert Gordon, one of rockabilly’s early revivalists and a familiar presence on the 1970s New York City punk rock scene, died Tuesday, October 18, 2022, at the age of 75, according to his record label.

Although no cause of death was given, his family recently started a GoFundMe campaign to help with his battle with acute myeloid leukaemia.

His label president Matt Green said, “Cleopatra Records extends our heartfelt condolences to his family and friends.” “We enjoyed working with Robert and will miss his powerful baritone vocal as well as his focused dedication to his music,”

Gordon’s final album, “Hellafied,” which again teams him with British guitarist Chris Spedding, is being released by the label on November 25, 2022.

Gordon accomplished rockabilly and blues-based albums for labels such as Viceroy (1994’s “All for The Love of Rock ‘N’ Roll”), Jungle (2004’s “Satisfied Mind”), Rykodisc (2007’s Elvis Presley tribute “It’s Now or Never” with Spedding), Lanark (2014’s “I’m Coming Home”) and Cleopatra for his most recent studio recording, 2020’s aptly-titled “Rockabilly for Life.”
