In a letter posted on his website, wife Sandy and daughter Amy, write that The Band singer and drummer, 71, could use some positive thoughts:

Levon is in the final stages of his battle with cancer. Please send your prayers and love to him as he makes his way through this part of his journey.

Thank you fans and music lovers who have made his life so filled with joy and celebration... he has loved nothing more than to play, to fill the room up with music, lay down the back beat, and make the people dance! He did it every time he took the stage...

We appreciate all the love and support and concern.

Levon Helm - "Heaven's Pearls" from "Electric Dirt" album (2009).

Heaven's Pearls lyrics

Songwriters: Helm, Amy; Isaacs, Byron; Leone, Anthony; Mcbain, Fiona; Patscha, Glenn;

Life's a strain of painful things to be overcome
We mark the mile by our trials and suffer everyone
But hold them near and keep them dear and don't be ashamed

Trials of the world are all heaven's pearls
Trials of the world are all heaven's pearls

We gather scars from tangled bars that catch under the skin
The friction burns as they turn working deeper in
But day by day sharp edges fade, smooth, burnished and fine

Trials of the world are all heaven's pearls
Trials of the world are all heaven's pearls

Trials of the world are all heaven's pearls
Trials of the world are all heaven's pearls
