Barbara Weldens, French singer. Story here, it seems she may have been electrocuted on stage. |

That's terrible news, he had such a wonderful and powerful voice. Wouldn't be surprised if he was on the same meds as Chris Cornell. |

Very difficult to speculate here but in general there are a number of anti-anxiety drugs which if you read the small print can cause suicidal thoughts in extreme cases ...
These drugs need to be very carefully monitored by good doctors. If you are struggling with drink and drugs as well the risk must be heightened surely.

Apparently, they were friends and yesterday would have been Chris Cornell's birthday, so...

R.I.P. Glen Campbell. A great singer and interpreter of songs but people sometimes forget what a great musician he was. He was a member of the "Wrecking Crew" and that probably says all that needs to be said about his guitar chops. BBC Obit. |

Very sad news, a quite wonderful performer who fought a very brave battle with Alzheimer's... RIP.

Really sad news.

The Alice Cooper interview about Glen that's linked from that video is interesting too.

I've just heard that we've lost Walter Becker.
A bad day.

Oh that's bad news. I hadn't thought of him as old at all.

The Dan came onto my radar at a young age - I'd have been 12 when Ricki Don't Lose That Number was their hit of the time.
They've been with me ever since.
Today I have had the odd tearful moment.
Thank you Walter - you've been a source of inspiration over the years, and the world is a poorer place for you not being with us any longer.

Gaucho and Aja are never far from my player. Some of the early hits are great, too.
A really sad loss.
