Remembering the fallen...
This page is a tribute to musicians who have passed away. Some of them had troubled lives or were even involved in criminal acts. Including them here is not meant to overlook or excuse their actions, but to recognize the impact their music had on Rock history and on those who listened to it.
I don't own the copyrights for any of the used pictures here. If you're the photographer and want me to remove or replace your picture with another one, please get in touch.
