Every year a lot of stars that entertained us with their music are lost forever as they move on to the other side, leaving behind all the fans who loved them and the music as their legacy. In this Musical In Memoriam 2015 we try to honor them as best we can, by listening to their songs.
2015 was particularily hard as some of our favorites have gone, and in this Spotify list we selected 160 songs to remember them; one for each of the stars that were gone this year.
Stone Temple Pilots frontman Scott Weiland left us in 2015.
Some were really showstoppers and seeing them go was heartbreaking, but some others were just as talented and we may have not noticed… Mike Porcaro, Percy Sledge, Sid Tapper, Rutger Gunnarson, Ben E. King, B.B. King, Chris Squire, Joan Sebastian, Daniel Rabinovich, Gary Richrath, Guy Béart, Andy White, Scott Weiland, Lemmy Kilmister or Natalie Cole are those names recognizable everywhere… but there were 160 big losses for music, and here´s a way we found to honor them.
Musical In Memoriam 2015 – Those we lost in music
10 hours and 3 minutes with 160 songs of those music stars we lost in 2015. As we raise our glasses, we sing along…
Here is the complete list of songs and artists on the Musical In Memoriam 2015. If who we are honoring was a songwriter, composer or musician, we are adding a song by a band or singer performing it. The format is: Number of song in the list, date of passing, name of the artist passing, what he/she did, the song in the list (added by someone if they are not the ones singing or performing it, or if they were members of a band).
