The murderers should never again be called by their names, they should be forgotten. Do not give them the satisfaction of being mentioned in the same breath as their famous victims.
Not only were most of these musicians killed young but around the same age 🤷🏽♂️ for a musician Dimbag Darryl has to be the worst nightmare. Being murdered onstage doing what you love and is supposed to bring joy and stress relief to most who enjoy concerts and the sound of music. RIP to all who were tragically killed ✌🏽♥️
December 8, 1980, San Francisco Bay Area. My dad woke me up minutes after I was put to bed. He escorted me into the living room and said “son you will remember this night for the rest of your life.” He placed me in front of our black and white console TV. “Someone shot and killed John Lennon,” he said. I was 8 years old. 44 years later my fathers words prove true.
I remember when "Stringbean" Davod Akeman and wife wrre viciously murdered in their Nashville home. Think he had just performed at the Grand Ol' Opry. Very talented banjo player. So tragic.
That's right, it was a tragic end to a promising career, just like other people from the list. We've already highlighted Selina in several videos, so feel free to check out this video if you're curious: ruclips.net/video/RA8vBGB7f_8/видео.htmlsi=MtDJu-W5qpyR7Bl7&t=608
What’s so sad about most of these deaths, is that many of them could’ve been prevented. For example. Most of the rappers, once they found fame. Kept hanging around the same old people, that didn’t have anything. Sometimes you just have to cut yourself off from the people that don’t mean you any good. All because they are jealous of your happiness and success. I just hope that their family will find closure.🥺
RIP to these 60 Great singers, musicians 😢 I miss Marvin Gaye Peter Tosh John Lennon the most I can tell you where I was when I heard the sad news on their passing 😢😢 please do one on celebrities who died in plane crash
Of all these deaths, the one that saddens me the most is Mia Zapata. I don't understand how someone can do something like this to a woman. The world is full of criminals without a shred of humanity.
Thank you for remembering the legendary Rusty Day of Cactus. I thought he was gonna be committed from this list but he showed up at the very end. The sad thing is that there is virtually no video footage of the band. All I have seen is a very brief segment (20 odd seconds) from the Isle of Wight festival 1970. Hopefully, there is full footage somewhere, and an official release will happen. Same eith Randy California''s Spirit who also performed at IOW
John Lennon, a symbol of peace... He was known for being hot-headed, short-fused and overall problematic. His romance with Yoko Ono didn't help either, and it was his over-inflated ego that led him to clash with the rest of the Beatles, leading to the band's dissolution.
Can't get out of the thug life, because your peeps won't have it. Too rich, too famous, and too gangsta is almost a guarantee to get clipped before you are 40. Street cred is very expensive.
It'd be helpful if you could post a link to information about each musician mentioned so, if you do not talk about them, we can find out more by ourselves.
Christina Grimmie. The next day, a terrorist shot up the Pulse Nightclub. Same city. Sam Cooke. Born on same day as Steve Perry but decades before Perry was born. Selena Quintanilla. She finished her role in Don Juan de Marco. She was in the midst of her 1st album in English. No music videos 😕 of her songs yet. Then, the shooting. Johnny Depp , star of Don Juan de Marco left short eulogies. Bryan Adams sang a song he, Mutt Lange and Michael Kamen wrote. That appeared in the movie. Selena sang a song 🎵. Selena Gomez was named after Sena Quintanilla. Jennifer López played Selena Quintanilla in a biopic. Decades later, she sang a duet with Adams. RIP to all.
I just watched this I was shocked to hear about Winston Riley he is well known in reggae music he worked with Dave and Ansel Collins with there UK number 1 double barrel
Being a rapper is a very high risk profession.
A lot of people may not have noticed, but Dime and Lennon were killed on the same day 24 years apart (almost to the minute), and in the same manner.
Being a rapper may be the most dangerous job in the USA.
Marvin Gaye getting killed was the most hurtful to me, i really loved his music.
The way Jaco Pastorius was killed was very sad. Beaten up outside a club. Such a talent.

I'm so glad you added Mia Zapata to this list she was just getting started I loved her in concert
I remember when they announced Lennon's murder during a Monday Night Football game.

I was 21 when John Lennon was murdered. People were driving around with their headlights on that day!!!
RIP Selena 😢
Now I know why there aren't many old rappers.
I remember when "Stringbean" Davod Akeman and wife wrre viciously murdered in their Nashville home. Think he had just performed at the Grand Ol' Opry. Very talented banjo player. So tragic.
Dimebag was a top10 guitar player of all time, nice that you made an hommage to his legacy
One thing is common among all of these talents (except ten) is that a gun was involved. Tragic.
Peter tosh died in 1987 I remember it very clear I was in highschool then. Peace everybody
You didn't do a video for Selena? That was a big deal in 1995.

Thanks for not having JACO as a side note. Luc Haven murdered him. Don’t be afraid to say the murderers name.
Victor Jara’s murder still resonates till this day, and it is one most shocking moments in Latin American music.
Tupac's murderer has been arrested. It's not a mystery anymore.
That time is coming, John. See you in Paradise❤
My favorite musicians on this list are Jaco Pastorius, Dimebag Darrell, Notorious Big. But all were great. RIP 🙏🏻💐🕊️

Peter Tosh and Tupac my two favorite artists. 11 September 1987 and 13 September 1996 Continue to sleep in peace Legends 🙏🏾
Damn, what did a saxophonist do?
The most shocking one was Dimebag Darrell one...getting shot on the stage? Damn...
The Gits were awesome! My mum kind of knew Mia, she sounded really cool
Viva Zapata!
Now, please tell, how many of those murders were in the usa?! What a terrific country to live in, really!
I expected a lot of rappers, but the amount of jazz guys surprised me
Ffs being a rapper is a risky business…..
I remember when John Lennon was killed. I had just started my first semester of college. I do not remember it being winter time.
Daaaaaaang charizma got a shout out!!! Thats awesome! My mind is blown!.... Respect!
Of all these deaths, the one that saddens me the most is Mia Zapata. I don't understand how someone can do something like this to a woman. The world is full of criminals without a shred of humanity.
I was thinking about being a rapper, but after seeing this, I say, No Way.
Im nothing but offended by all the senseless violence that took them , and all that have met the same fate. RIP
R.I.P. Peter Tosh and Bob Marley 🙏🏽
I can't help thinking what is going on with Black Rappers getting SHOT to death? There were SO MANY in this video. It is concerning for their lives! 😩
Looks like you enjoy your jazz, thankyou for not just highlighting those that everybody knows but pointing out the less well known.
Calling a rapper a musician is a bit of stretch, don’t ya think?
Euronomous deserved a segment. That story is wild
10:40 “What’s Goin On” is one of the best records in the history of music🫶🏼
I'm glad that Mia Zapata got a few sentences. I am also glad when someone remembers to mention her in Club 27 members. R I P
Rappers shockingly murdered? 🤔
Being a Rapper must be the most dangerous profession on earth!

Don’t forget Takeoff was killed in shooting on November 1st, 2022.
You should talking of Euronymous's murder.. THE MOST TERRIBLE IN ABSOLUTE!!! 🖤🤘🏻🌑
😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢 I just want to say God bless John Lennon 🙏🏿🙏🏿👑🙏🏿 amen
Rest in peace peter Ivers. He was murdered in 1983. A month before my 4th birthday
Do you see how many Rappers on this list all died from murder? Very Unfortunate
I was a big fan of Peter Tosh.RIP rasta.
Thanks for the video. Do you have any for musicians who died from suicide, drug abuse, car and plane crashes, etc.?
Rappers and guns are made for each other.
Looks like being a rapper is a deadlier profession than Alaskan crab fisherman!
What I take away from this video is, don't become a rapper.
Rip to everyone on this list
Some were big but...Lennon was HUGE!!!...None compared to Lennon..Was not just a murder
it was a Assassination yes, He was THAT Important!!!
You focused too much on the more famous victims instead of the more interesting deaths like Felix Pappalardi, Gary Driscoll & Victor Jara.
My god all these artist who were shot is sad
Biggie deserved a spot there no problem. I didn't know Pop Smoke was dead either?
john as a symbol of peace, so what happened ?
These are really sad.
Dimebag is my hero!
I'm beginning to notice a pattern here
John Lennon, a symbol of peace... He was known for being hot-headed, short-fused and overall problematic. His romance with Yoko Ono didn't help either, and it was his over-inflated ego that led him to clash with the rest of the Beatles, leading to the band's dissolution.

Street cred is very expensive.
The Mia Zapata story was on the old "Unsolved Mysteries" series. Her neighbor was her killer.
How do you decide the order you put these in? Its not by age at death, alphabetically, or chronologically. Just curious.
Unfortunately a lot of rappers.....
Is it interesting that 18 of the 60 featured were rappers, it’s just shy of a third.
Marvin Gaye. Shot by his. Big
Christian father. Pastor. I wonder if his father had the cheek to go on preaching
Sonny Boy Williamson looks *considerably* *older* than 34 (years of age at the time of his assassination) 🤔
You left out Kurt Cobain
It'd be helpful if you could post a link to information about each musician mentioned so, if you do not talk about them, we can find out more by ourselves.
Hendrix was killed by his manager. Lots of black people here.
LEE MORGAN.❤❤❤❤
takeaway from the video: don't be a rapper
Rest in peace to all the musical legends mentioned ❤️🕊🙏
How is Lennon saying "Give Peace a Chance" changing the world? Obviously singing a song about peace or just saying it hasn't changed a darn thing.
I had no idea that Jaco died in such a fashion. Truly sad all of these but his is extra shocking.
Rip Dîme!!! 👍😥!
Harsh to see a Christian Minister gun down his own son. Whats going on?
They have a quarterly update on rappers killed each year
This posting reminds us how amazingly dangerous guns are in the USA.
Jaco❤
The best advice I can give is;- never become a rapper!!
I wonder- all these rappers shot. D'you think their violent lyrics had anything to do with it? HMMM.
Peter tosh rest in light and love Babylon finally got you !!! A réal man of Peace ❤️
Please don't call rappers " musicians." They're just thugs that talk. That's not a talent.
Rapping is widely considered a talent by many due to the various skills it encompasses. I'm glad it is appreciated in the music industry and beyond.
Christina Grimmie. The next day, a terrorist shot up the Pulse Nightclub. Same city.
Sam Cooke. Born on same day as Steve Perry but decades before Perry was born.
Selena Quintanilla. She finished her role in Don Juan de Marco. She was in the midst of her 1st album in English. No music videos 😕 of her songs yet. Then, the shooting. Johnny Depp , star of Don Juan de Marco left short eulogies. Bryan Adams sang a song he, Mutt Lange and Michael Kamen wrote. That appeared in the movie. Selena sang a song 🎵.
Selena Gomez was named after Sena Quintanilla. Jennifer López played Selena Quintanilla in a biopic. Decades later, she sang a duet with Adams.
RIP to all.
Why do so many musicians die tragic deaths? Remind me to never sign a music contract. FR
They got.
Who killed Tupac He and jail
I don't know if the utopian world of Lennon would be a fair world.
I just watched this I was shocked to hear about Winston Riley he is well known in reggae music he worked with Dave and Ansel Collins with there UK number 1 double barrel
Many rappers, seems like a trend.
How many of these murders are unsolved?
Shocking to see so many rappers on this list.
NOOOOO JOHNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!
