Chuck Berry, father of rock and roll, leaves us


Chuck Berry, legendary father of rock and roll, passes away at the age of 90; his last album was due to be released in 2017.

Chuck Berry, the great musician considered among the fathers of rock and roll, has left us at the age of 90. Confirmation of the artist’s passing was given by police in St. Charles County, Missouri, where the artist lived.

With his hits such as Johnny B. Goode (1958), Roll over Beethoven (1956) and You can’t never tell (1964), but also with his attitudes on stage (impossible not to mention his famous walk known as the Duck walk), Chuck Berry influenced legions of artists belonging to different generations. The father of rock and roll leaves on the eve of the release of Chuck, the album that had already been announced as the concluding work of his career, and will therefore be released posthumously.
