I live in Minnesota USA
We just lost our beloved 'native son' Prince. Not sure why, but I lost a close friend BECAUSE he was a Jehovah's Witness.. I don't shun religion without good reason, and I believe some of the thought process is misplaced in that regard, like Steve Jobs, belief in a way of life didn't prolong it ultimately.
Health concerns and proper doctor care probably contributed to his untimely passing in his mid 50s
Also lost this month;
Merle Haggard
Keith Emerson of ELP, Emerson, Lake and Powell (also RIP) and Emerson, Lake and Palmer.
We also lost electric guitar legend, much unheralded Lonnie Mack!
Times certainly are changing for the worst if you ask me
No one seems worthy of carrying on their music and art
