At the same time, she thanked everyone for their support and the Central Military Hospital for their care. According to her, Patejdl’s death was sudden and unexpected.
“My husband was struck unexpectedly, and above all completely secretly, by a very insidious disease. His departure was caused by the overall exhaustion of the organism during the progression of an insidious malignant disease of the pancreas. “The doctors announced the diagnosis to him 14 days before that fateful day,” she said.
One of Patejdl’s last performances was a concert at the Venátská festival on July 27 this year! in the village of Liberec.
The Elán group then planned two concerts next year – in Prague and Bratislava. The reason for the one-time return was to celebrate the 70th birthday of frontman Jožo Ráž and Patejdl.
Patejdl, who was born on October 10, 1954 in Karlovy Vary, also collaborated with the Slovak singer Richard Müller, for whom he composed the hit Po schodoch.
He also created the music for the film Fontána pro Zuzana from 1986 or for the film fairy tale Seven Crows from 2015. He has received numerous awards for his work.
