If You Could Go Back In Time and Prevent the Premature Deaths of Six Artiistes Whom Would You Save?
And as many as you like about whom you agonised, and those whom you believe had no more to contribute.
Judee Sill
Laura Nyro
Henry Purcell
Elgar
Verdi
Gilbert and Sullivan
Bizet
John Lennon.
Iain M Banks
Lemmy
Bon Scott
Randy Rhoads
Cliff Burton
Terry Pratchett
Banks and Pratchett sorely missed. I thought that Ian M Banks in particular had scarcely begun. A devastating loss.
We had a thread here called "gasping for hydrogen" where we were anticipating what turned out to be his last book in the culture, The Hydrogen Sonata. And then he was gone. Bugger.
I choose to believe that his "death" was a Special Circumstances cover up as he was returned home after preparing Earth for joining The Culture.
