It is reported by RIA Novosti with reference to the US Naval Forces Institute (USNI).

Last year, Eymond broke his own Guinness World Record for "the world's oldest conductor" by leading an orchestra of US Air Force musicians.

He enlisted in the United States Navy in 1938 and played horn in the ship's band.

Aymond survived the raid on Pearl Harbor.

At the time of the Japanese attack, he went to the conductor's stand, took a stick and continued to lead the orchestra, performing "Stars and Stripes".

In early January, former drummer for the American band Earth, Wind and Fire, Fred White, died at the age of 68.
