Any Jimmy Kimmel Fans ? I just found out his band leader Cleo of Cleo and the Cletons passed away this morning [View all]
In 2023 my husband and I saw a live taping of the Jimmy Kimmel and we sat near the band and I met him. He was such a nice guy. He was only 59.
Cleto Escobedo III, the “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” bandleader, died Tuesday morning, the late-night host announced.
In posts on social media, Jimmy Kimmel described Escobedo as a “great friend, father, son, musician and man.” He urged his followers to keep Escobedo's family in their thoughts.
“Cleto and I have been inseparable since I was nine years old,” Kimmel wrote. “The fact that we got to work together every day is a dream neither of us could ever have imagined would come true.”
The news comes after Kimmel postponed a shows taping last week for a “personal matter.”
