Top Ten Shocking Music Moments

There will never be another John Lennon, and that's all I have to say about that.

Lennon's influence was far beyond music. Truly a citizen of the Earth.

He do a lot of controversial things in his life. Think before you talk.

How is a clearly self distructive popstars overdoas more shocking then one of the greatest musicians of all time being shot dead by a nut job. Saddest moment too

Wasn't expecting it in the slightest. Came as a huge shock.

My BFF waited 6 hours in line juss 4 The This is it concert... and well... bam he died

He was a great singer

Nobody saw it coming

Amazing artist who was distinguished in his prime... Sadly, by himself. But he leaves behind truly monumental and timeless music.

When kurt cobain commit suicide the 90s rock was silence. when kurt cobain did not suicide NIRVANA was the best rock band ever!

There were some people who killed themselves too over this. Was a major moment in music.

Surprised this isn't Top 5 at the very least.

I feel like this should be higher than Taylor Swift's VMA speech being interrupted as stupid as it was no one died or was injured.

Thinking what difference would have been made in the legacy that Metallica have made and the level that he would have taken the genre of heavy/thrash metal sends chills down my spine. If he was alive, he would possibly have been one of the best songwriters of today. On that tragic day the heavy metal genre(the whole art of music in general) had lost a priceless Jewel before he could even reach the pinnacle of his song writing.

Sorry for Taylor Swift. Kanye! What were you thinking!? Go somewhere else... I agree with you Beyoncé having a great video but that!? Are you even crazy!?

Who cares about Lil Wayne in jail. He put himself into that situation anyway.

What the heck is a "Lil Wayne"?

I'm gonna be honest, if this feud didn't exist, then Stupid Hoe wouldn't exist.

He deserved the songs dedicated to him and more. Just not death. RIP

WHAT?!? I only just found out this... Oh that is awful I almost cried when I saw this, I wish he didn't leave :'( poor james what that was random

I cannot believe (even still to this day) that I saw John Lennon naked!
John I love you, but you went too far this time.
