It is with a heavy heart that I announce the passing of Richard Nader on December 1, 2009 from complications of Parkinson’s disease. It is due to Richard’s vision and foresight that we enjoy the music of the 50’s and early 60’s today. He will be greatly missed by those who loved him and those who were touched by his passion and dedication to the music of the era.

To the hundreds and hundreds of people who have sent their condolences and reached out to me in this sad time I wish to say thank you from the bottom of my broken heart. To those of you artists, friends and fans whom Richard has admired over the years, I am overwhelmed by the outpouring of sympathy for the loss of Richard. .He will truly be missed. I promise you, as I promised Richard, his legacy will continue through Richard Nader Entertainment and some day with your love and support he will be recognized by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. For those of you who wish to remember Richard a fund has been established in his name at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. 1100 Rock and Roll Blvd, Cleveland, OH 44114
