I just found out about the death of Polo Hofer at the age of 72 after a battle with lung cancer. His songs are in the Bernese dialect of Swiss German. See this news.
 
Hofer composed and sang in Bernese German, and was one of the most popular protagonists of Swiss-German rock and pop music, so-called Mundartrock. Co-founding the then popular Swiss rock groups Rumpelstilz and Schmetterband, Hofer published 18 music albums and composed about 350 songs.Polo Hofer also published poems, books, acted in Swiss-oriented movies, and was on tour as singer until his death.
