Joey Russ 7,263 Posted July 17, 2017 I'd argue music still has a certain amount of notable deaths this year. Chuck Berry is obviously the biggest death in that category, but the lead singers of the Allman Brothers Band and Soundgarden are certainly well known. There's also John Wetton, who's pretty influential in progressive rock, well known singer Al Jarreau, and, though I'm not a fan of hip hop, influential rapper Progidy. All pretty significant deaths. Is it as big as 2016's music death? So far, no. That could change, with Johnny Hallyday and Olivia Newton John looking like prime candidates to not see the year out, with other people we don't know about potentially dying as well, and, though kind of off topic, I keep having this strange feeling that a legend in new wave music will announce a cancer diagnosis sometime soon... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
