Top Ten Saddest Rock Deaths
He may be dead, but he will always be the king.
I'd always avoided listening to the football game announcement of John's death until I inadvertently heard it on the radio. It gave me this weird, time travelling sensation and I was reeling for a couple hours.
The world is a different place thanks to Lennon. Imagine how much more of a difference could he have made if he were still alive today.
Freddie was one of the best musicians ever. His announcement he had AIDs was devastating. He died from it because nobody really knew what it was at the time. There were very few medicines to cure it. Freddie's death was a alert to AIDs, and the loss of one of the worlds greatest ever musicians. Queen stuck together well, they could still have the original band today if he had not died.
I saw Bohemian Rhapsody on American Bandstand (the 1st music video by the way.) I had already loved A Night At The Opera and fell in love with that voice! Freddie Mercury was a true showman and a lover of everything life had to offer. No apologies. And I miss him still. Quoting his last video, in a whisper "I still love you! " Always crying by the time I whisper it back to him, always pausing to stare at that last look he gives us. A smile. Like he's letting us know he'll be ok. I will always wish for him to come back to life...
Freddie was one of the best musicians ever. Freddie's announcement that he had AIDs was horrible. What was even worse was when he died of it. No body at the time knew what it was, so there was very little he could take to rid himself of it. Eventually he gave up. If we had the medicines we have now then, than he might of been fine. His death made everyone aware of it.
Should be number one, because his death was the saddest tragedy in the music world, because we have lost a legend, the greatest singer of all time.
He was pretty much a kid... high-school aged. That's one of the saddest deaths in rock for sure
One of the most legendary guitarists of the 90s, and he was shot on stage in front of his fans and his brother. That's tragic
March 19, 1982... a bad, bad day in Rock. Was only 25 and had the World at his hands. I cannot even fathom what he would be doing today, and how much more influential he would be.
