Russian singer and internet celebrity Eduard Khil has died this morning. According to the AP, his death in a St. Petersburg hospital comes after a stroke in April. You may not know Khil by name, but if you went on the internet any time in 2010, you probably know him from his claim to internet-fame, a 1976 video of him lip-syncing pre-recorded nonsense words on Soviet television.

So long, Mr. Trololo. We send you off with a heartfelt [wave goodbye].
