Is there anyone who knows where (if) you can find the names of all musicians that has passed away this year? (and years before)? (on this site I mean, but anywhere else is good to, but I trust this site to remember more than just the most well-known names).

Damn... I remember I wanted to see them live at roadburn but in the end I didn't. Guess I would never see them at all. Horrible news indeed, my condolences to the family and bandmates.

I know there's been a lot of deaths recently, but shit, this one just feels closer to home. Met the guy a couple times, seemed like a solid dude. The last show I went to with these guys was them headlining in a pretty empty club, it was one of those "intimate" sort of shows.

This is the first time I've been actually legitimately impacted by a musicians death since Dio, this one probably more so.

RIP.

Sad news.
At least it looks like a car accident and not one more death caused by drug abuse.

One of the saddest news this year for me. And it came just before the christmas..
I still can't believe... He was such great and talented musician. That's a big loss for metal music.
This is also probably the end of WoY...
