ImNotHades 207 Posted April 22, 2018 Most people outside this site isn't aware of above mentioned musicians health issues (not everyone was exposed like Whitney) and by SHOCK I mean a huge impact on news. This thread is exclusive to superstar acts and yes Aretha is a superstar and it will fill the headlines all over the world once she dies. Avicii was a shock but not the way Amy Winehouse was. People are sad because he's young, not because he was A-list superstar. Technically he was a one hit wonder. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
machotrouts 828 Posted April 22, 2018 Which of his 20-odd UK top 40 singles was his "one hit"? Avicii was responsible for at least two of the defining sounds of 2010s pop ("everything trying to sound like 'Levels'" and "everything trying to sound like 'Wake Me Up'"). He's hardly Rednex. (Rednex were better, but that's not the point.) 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also....and speaking of Jan Hammer, until recently I was unaware that Jeff Beck is bloody 73! and touring. Love you Jeff, but that's a recipe to crash and burn. SC There's a decent looking Beck documentary on BBC 4 this Friday which I thought I'd look in on. Not aware his drink/drug issues were up there with the other Yardbirds' lead guitarists. I would've posted that on the Deadio Times site but it's been populated with discussions of television types. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lafaucheuse 4,051 Posted May 10, 2018 Elton John is a good pick according to the recent tributes that he received (the two honorary discs, a Biopic that will be released, the grammy awards' Tribute…). He was forced to cancel a show back in January due to "health problem". What do you think of it ? And another question : why Cher is in the list of the possible death ?

Cher is in this list because of gossips about her health a few years ago well... Elton John seems to be a good pick but who knows? There will be another music shocking death before his passing. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think Morrissey, Aretha Franklin, Axl Rose and Barbra Streisand are better picks than Elton John. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A few weeks before her death she had cancelled her tour in Europe. anyway, many people all around the world were moved by her death because she was a great artist.

A shock death is someone you don't expect to die. That really doesn't apply in her case - she had a hit single about how she didn't want to go to rehab despite everyone knowing she needed to.
