“I can’t stop crying,” writes singer Katarína Knechtová on her instagram. “My friend, one of the few in this business, a role model and a man who really liked me. We had common experiences, but also plans for the future. I can’t believe it and I can’t stop crying, rest in peace, dear friend, “says Knecht.

Janko Lehotský shares the composition of Miroslav Žbirka and the band Modus, which they founded together with Gombitová and Lehotský in the 1970s.

“When I was twelve, I regularly went to the records department at Prior. I stood in front of the cover of Gustav Offerman for a long minute, Meky was also a member of his band. In the photo, he was holding a real Fender Stratocaster. His first solo record, Doctor Dream, was one of my favorites at puberty. When I was fourteen, I spent long hours alone at home, playing with Modus and Meky Žbirka. I didn’t miss any of their concerts at that time. In the trio with Oskar and Marcel, we regularly played the ballad about wild birds at our concerts. Even once at the Bratislava Jazz Days, “recalls musician Andrej Šeban on Facebook.
