December 14, 20187 yr To be fair, if you deleted all the pre-existing dead musician threads in this forum, you could fit the entire remaining contents into a Rolodex. Sad on at least a few levels.
December 15, 20187 yr The thing is, musicians' deaths tend to affect us far more than your average movie person or even wrestler. There are still going to be plenty of stand-alone threads here, because we'll need them; that said, it's nice to have this for some of the smaller names that might go unnoticed otherwise.
January 4, 20197 yr Pegi Young, former wife of Neil, who sang and wrote on some of his albums, and ran the Bridge school, passed away age 69.
January 4, 20197 yr She was the one that had the kid with I believe cerebral palsy or something, right? The one he was together with for a long long time and broke up with unexpectedly? Why did they break up, anyway?
January 4, 20197 yr Ah. I read the bio Shakey quite a few years ago so I thought that was her. In any case, RIP.
January 30, 20197 yr 20 hours ago, Zimbra said: It's being reported on twitter that James Ingram has passed away. Damn, cancer takes another one. Although he didn't have the largest discography, the quality was always there. R.I.P.
February 21, 20197 yr Of the Monkees Tork lived life hardest. Some were amazed he made it to 50 let alone 77. I had the pleasure of seeing him, Nesmith and Dolenz perform in Detroit and it made me weep tears of jpy getting to see some version iof the band play with Nesmith. Tork is such an underappreciated musiccian it seems and probably had the most musical talent of the Monkees. Dolenz and Nesmith remain but all four remain in my heart James
February 22, 20197 yr I heard about Peter Tork's passing this morning on NPR. Someone needs to freeze Micky Dolenz and Mike Naismith in carbonite.
February 26, 20197 yr The last 3 Talk Talk albums are breathtaking works of art. It always broke my heart that he stopped making music so early on.
February 28, 20197 yr Early Who drummer Doug Sandom passed away, he was a lot older than the rest of the band and his ousting lead to Keith Moon showing up at a gig and asking to play a few songs. https://www.thewho.com/doug-sandom-1930-2019/?fbclid=IwAR2Ss8d4nwVmKNDRF3-St4MF5JFf5U2-S8xC_yERORJymtNvRbv1R-EcpdI
March 4, 20197 yr 11 minutes ago, Brian Fowler said: Keith Flint, lead singer of The Prodigy is reportedly dead at 49 Just found out from my friend on Facebook. Damn.
March 4, 20197 yr Big fan of them in the 90s with Fat of the Land being on regular rotation. Their work since then has been a very mixed bag, some great tunes but the rest mostly repetitive dirge. Howlett was obviously the creative brain behind the band, but Keith Flint was a perfect frontman for them.
March 4, 20197 yr I'm dumbstruck with the news of Flint's death. The Day Is My Enemy has stayed in my rotation since release and was such a great comeback for them.
