Notes:
The Rock Deaths List is new and I'm sure it is far from complete and probably with errors (sometimes my
sources are inconsistent as well). But together we can make the list correct, and complete, e.g. the list
at the bottom of this page includes some entries that need some help from you. Let us all make this a historic momentum and homage.
Although this site is dedicated to Rock artists, it is sometimes hard to judge where to draw the line.
The list does include major artists of related genres with ties to rock music including Blues, Jazz,
Pop, Punk, Country, etc., but no attempt is made to include all artists of these genres.
It appears that the information of this site is (mis-)used by several so called 'religious' sites to 'prove'
that rock music is evil (causing the premature deaths of many artists).
It will be obvious that this site does not support or cooperate with these religious fanatics who forget
that most premature deaths are caused by some kind of war, too often initiated for one or another
religious feud.
Neglect these sites!
