RIP Todd Nance, founding drummer of Widespread Panic.

RIP Steve Grossman, sax player, he was Wayne Shorter's replacement in Miles Davis' band and then joined Elvin Jones' band. He recorded about 30 albums of his own and was a sideman on more albums than probably even he could have counted.

Jack Sherman, aged 64.

Guitarist with the Red Hot Chilli Peppers

Someone has been reading the bbc news website 😂

Found it surprising he wasn’t included in the music hall of fame with the rest of them.

Sir Ken Robinson,, educator and advocate for the arts in education...1950-2020. His passing has affected every British educator I know.

RIP Justin Townes Earle

No way! Is this real? >runs off to check the news<

Edit: this is sadly true. Diagnosed with colon cancer four years ago. I never knew. He was 18 days younger than me. Rest in power, King.
