As we reflect on the passing of another year, 2024 has been marked by the profound loss of many influential figures in the music industry. This year, we mourn not only the talented artists who graced us with their remarkable creativity but also the behind-the-scenes visionaries whose contributions shaped some of our most cherished musical masterpieces. The impact of their work continues to resonate, reminding us of the vital role they played in the evolution of music.
Tragically, we bid farewell to the incredible MC5 guitarist Wayne Kramer just before the band’s induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame later this year. Additionally, we lost other iconic musicians, including Phil Lesh from the Grateful Dead, Dickey Betts of the Allman Brothers Band, and the original vocalist of Iron Maiden, Paul Di’Anno. Each of these legends left an indelible mark on the music landscape, and their legacies will continue to inspire future generations.
