This thread is for any deaths that should be shared.

I currently heard of some sad news from a classmate about the death of a guitarist who played in one of the greatest rock and roll bands ever formed.

Ron Asheton died. no source on this article (it's from a myspace bulletin) but sounds like a lonely way to go out.

"6th JAN - Stoog​es guita​rist found​ dead.​.​.​.​ Ron Ashet​on,​ the guita​rist and bassi​st with The Stoog​es has been found​ dead today​ (​Janua​ry 6). He was 60. Ashet​on was found​ at his home in Ann Arbor​ this morni​ng,​ accor​ding to polic​e.​ A cause​ of death​ is yet to be confi​rmed,​ altho​ugh initi​al repor​ts sugge​st that Ashet​on died of a heart​ attac​k.​ Detec​tive Sgt Jim Steph​enson​ told local​ paper​ Ann Arbor​ News that foul play is not suspe​cted.​
He added​ that Ashet​on'​s body was found​ on a livin​g-​room sofa,​ and that he appea​red to have been dead for sever​al days.​
Autop​sy and toxic​ology​ resul​ts are pendi​ng"

Anniversary of Anna Nicole Smith is coming up.
I loved her. That really shook me.

AND OH MY GOD, HEATH LEDGER. He died this month last year. Absolutely ******* devastating.
 
One of the few "celebrity" deaths that has affected me was the death of Quorthon, founder of the extremely influental cult metal band Bathory, they were basically the founders of TWO music genres (black metal and viking metal). He died at the age of 38, I think that's just way too early for someone to pass away.

When I heard of it I remember listening to the Bathory song "Death And Resurrection Of A Northern Son" and I thought it was very beautiful and fitting:

"All still, no more pain, the wind whispering my name
This would my last, the darkness around me seems vast
Then a bright light I see, the clouds swirl and part before me
In the distance a woman approacing,
With a gesture she invites me to proceed

Then a bronze horn I hear, it calls me
And the bridge seems to stretch for a lifetime
Way before me a palace is rising
Out of the mist, like a mountain it stands
And it greets me with gates open wide,
All around me bloodbrothers by my side
And they show me the seat that bears my name,
My place at the table of Oden I do claim"


R.I.P. Quorthon!

Most of you probably don't know who he was, but I couldn't help sharing it here. :)
 
Erick Lee Purkhiser better known as Lux Interior, was an American singer and a founding member of the legendary garage punk band The Cramps from 1976 until his death in February 2009.

Interior died at 4:30 a.m. on February 4, 2009, in Glendale, California. The initial press release said he died of a pre-existing heart condition. The initial press release has been corrected on The Cramps official website where it states his death, from aortic dissection, was "sudden, shocking, unexpected and totally devastating".

Minus. You are awesome. I actually made a thread on the anniversary of his death in another forum.

I just learned today that Miika Tenkula, the man behind the band Sentenced, one of the most important metal bands from Finland, passed away last month. He was only 35.

In memories you shall live on
Asleep, in peace now rest
The weight of the world is off your chest"

Wow. This was the first I had heard of this. I'm genuinely quite sad about that. He made some films that I really connected with when I was growing up.

RIP Sir Bobby Robson, a true great and gentle man, who finally lost his fifth battle with cancer aged 76. A man I've never had anything but admiration for. BBC
