Russian Singer Eduard Khil dies

 Eduard Anatolyevich Khil (Russian: Эдуард Анатольевич Хиль; born 4 September 1934, Smolensk, Western Oblast), sometimes referred as Edward Hill or Edward Khil, was a Russian baritone singer and a recipient of the People's Artist Award of the RSFSR.

After retiring from a singing career, Khil slowly faded into obscurity in his later years. In 2010, Khil reclaimed the spotlight when he became the subject of the viral "Trololo" internet meme on YouTube, featuring a 1976 video of a vocalised version of the song, "I Am Glad To Finally Be Home" (Я очень рад, ведь я, наконец, возвращаюсь домой). Khil died on Monday from complications of a stroke. He was 77. Thanks for the laughs Mr. Khil.
