According to the Russian International News Agency, Eduard Khil has died today after complications from a stroke he suffered in late May. The 77-year old Russian singer enjoyed a career spanning several decades, but rose to international prominence again in 2010 after his song o I Am Glad, o Cause Io m Finally Returning Back Homeo made the rounds of these great wide interwebs. You may not recognize the man or the song, but does o trolololololololololoo sound familiar?

Perhaps the person most surprised by his suddenly being thrust back into the spotlight a few years ago what Khil himself. However, in interviews he did not seem bitter o more bewildered than anything. When asked if he felt like people were mocking him, he said:

o Ito s love of people. They are full of feeling. I dono t think thato s a parody. Maybe some elements of parody, but it is benevolent parody.o
