A very sad loss to the music world. One of the most important figures in the history of music. An amazing body of work and influence.

If I was shocked that Lemmy died, this is something else!
RIP, David Bowie

Here the latest list of those still living. I wonder who will be next? There's a lot of '50's rockers still going strong, Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Fats, Jerry Lee Lewis, Scotty Moore, DJ Fontana. I was surprised that George Martin was that old. www.ihopeidiebeforeigetold.com/oldest-living-rock-stars.php

I know he was not of the music world but Alan Rickman has just died of cancer. I am really sick of that disease.

Anybody else who clicked on Rocky's link, click on the list of those who died the youngest, listed by age?
There were 13 members of the 27 club. While I don't think the list was exhaustive, no other age was in the double digits.

Two missed being in the 27 CLUB, Gram Parsons by 6 weeks and Shannon Hoon (Blind Melon) by just 25 days. Right now there are 50 attendants at the 27 CLUB in Clarksdale, Ms. at the crossroads of Hwy.61 & 49. Tickets may be purchased in advance.....Taylor Swift. Rihanna's ticket expires in one month. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/27_Club

What is interesting about the young list is that they fit into the following; Drug/drink Accidents Cancer and other serious health issues, Murder. Suicide.
Some of those artists would have still had relevant and ongoing careers even today.

Just heard about Glenn Frey. Great songwriter/singer. Another legend gone.

Take It Easy Glenn - R I P I must be getting old, but it's sort of refreshing to see a group performing in custom made suits now instead of dirty ripped dungarees.
