As reported by Variety, record producer and longtime Saturday Night Live music producer Hal Willner has died from complications caused by the coronavirus. Willner had actually tweeted about having the virus recently, saying just over a week ago that he “always wanted to have a number one, but not this” along with an image showing New York City as the epicenter of the United States’ COVID-19 outbreak. He also tweeted well-wishes to legendary songwriter John Prine, who has been in critical condition with the coronavirus.
