HOW THE HELL IS LIL WAYNE IN JAIL MORE SHOCKING THAN JOHN LENNON DYING?

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

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

2 Michael Jackson Death

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

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

Laugh out loud How is this not number one, that's odd

If it wasn't 4 this, I wouldn't be a MJ fan... MICHAEL JACKSON FOREVER - SmoothCriminal

3 Kurt Cobain Commited Suicide

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

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

this was such a great loss. he was such a great artist left us too soon. - lucario411

4 The Notorious B.I.G. Death
5 VMA Kanye West & Taylor Swift

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!? - kontrahinsunu

6 Tupac Alive Death Rumors
7 Cliff Burton's Death

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.
