What musical icon death had the biggest impact on you

How about Gregg Allman?

From the list John Lennon and Freddie Mercury but those that saddened me the most:
Jon Lord, Gary Moore and Ronnie Dio

The recent death of Jon Lord got to me too.

Was this a Boy Band? Never heard of them.

My point is why make a list at all when you have no real idea of musical icons?

Gregg Allman is still alive. Duane Allman RIP

Whoops! That too. I didn't mean to put him out before his time there!

Keith Richards is on the list. You're still golden. I actually checked on Gregg after your post. He said he's just resting his eyes.

I miss all the ones on the list and many others because they will not be making any new music.
The list omits many many great musicians who died way too young. Like Mozart, Gershwin, Hendrix, Marley, Janis Joplin, Tim Hardin, Aaliyah, Otis Redding, George Harrison etc etc... as someone said, their music live on, but think what they would have/might have produced had they lived in ripe old age.

And I've no idea what Oifarang meant when he says the OP has no idea about musical icons.

I meant you can not ask a question about musical Icons when your list omits such a wealth of talent and indeed true musical Icons.

George Harrison

OMG yes! How could I have forgotten?! He's my favorite Beatle. His solo work with Jeff Lynne was just brilliant! I'm always amazed at how underrated he is compared to John and Paul. Maybe it's because he wasn't named after a Biblical disciple?
