This really does come out of nowhere...sort of like his Next Day release.  Article says that it was an 18-month battle with cancer.  Hard to believe that he was able to keep that private.  RIP.

I was listening to Blackstar on repeat last night. Love the album. Sad that he's gone, but he left on a high. Rest in peace, David.

Shocking news, totally unexpected, I did not even know he was sick, he's just put out some new music, hasn't he?

RIP David.

Very sad to see today that Wayne Rogers, Trapper John of MASH, passed away.

RIP, and thanks for all the laughs.

I am surprised this hasn't been mentioned on this site as yet......the lead singer of The Easybeats, Stevie Wright, died on Dec 27 in New South Wales aged 68. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stevie_Wright_%28Australian_singer%29


Everyone knows their world-wide hit "Friday on My Mind" which has been covered by David Bowie, Gary Moore, Bruce Springsteen, Richard Thompson...to name a few.

Stevie also had a number 1 hit in Oz in 1974 with the 11 minute 11 second epic Evie (parts 1, 2 and 3). An absolute classic track....a single of prog-length proportions. Apparently it's the longest length (in time) single to make it to number 1 anywhere in the world.    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evie_%28song%29

If you don't know the story of Stevie Wright then you should take the time to investigate. It is probably *the* saddest story in rock.

Lemmy.....dude was the beast, something tells me it was not just cancer. I would not be surprised if it had something also to do with his ways with women, I'd be shocked if everyone of them was "clean".

RIP Lem....sad day for metal heads
