Similarly Amy Winehouse dying the day after (before?) yr Norwegian Nazi lad went crazy on that island. We can quickly mention all the usual names dropped in these threads: CS Lewis and Aldous Huxley (died the same day as JFK) Sergei Prokofiev (same day as Stalin) and Rudyard Kipling (George V). Indeed, PM Stanley Baldwin mentioning to Edward VIII "hey, did you hear Rudyard Kipling died" the day after his father carked it meant the pair never enjoyed a particularly cordial relationship. Prokofiev (who is in my book one of the greatest classic composers) actually lived on Red Square, and so his friends had to move his body down an alleyway to get it away from his house as outside was packed with Stalin mourners. I know you know that one, but it might interest some of the others. The other famous historical one, I'll leave to @Death Impends... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But... "We'll always have Paris". 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

arghton 6,793 Posted April 22, 2023 Finnish composer Heino Kaski died on the 19th or 20th of September 1957 - massively overshadowed by much more notable Finnish composer (and Kaski's teacher) Jean Sibelius who died on the 20th. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
