Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis tweeted about the loss of Robert Williams: “Farewell Robert who, along with Poll, accompanied the teenage dreams of a generation.

Farewell to Robert, who, along with Poll, accompanied the teenage dreams of an entire generation. A sensitive composer who never stopped singing for the youth. But also for North Dakota, which he loved and composed its anthem. The notes that he leaves for us to communicate with will forever remain new.
