Musicians We’ve Lost in 2026 (January to June) … I didn’t know we’d lost these guys!
Every year more music legends leave us – leave us with their legacy and great music – depleting the music world even further. This video is a tribute to those we have lost in 2026 so far – January to June. May their soul rest in eternal peace.

It's always a shock doing these videos… Who is the biggest loss this year for you personally?

Greg Brown – 56 years old.

Would have been better if the instrument played, and COD were listed, and YES, it certainly does matter to the living.

Honorable mention goes to legendary and record executive Clive Davis who passed away at age 94 the same week as Walter Parazaider of Chicago and Tom Hensley, a former pianist for Neil Diamond .

I was always more of a Jerry fan.. but still have say Bob Weir probably had the most personal impact out of all of them.

Sonny Rollins I didn't remember was still alive & then came the Jethro Tull musician. That hit

Tedra Talley, 1927 – 2026 would make her 99, not 80 as stated. In fact her name was Nedra Talley, 1946 – 2026, age 80.

I’m getting YouTube ads in the middle of this. Disrespectful. Can you turn them off?

Alex Ligertwood Santana, Average White Band died 30/4/26 aged 79 not on your list RIP. A huge omission

Being Australian, Rob Hirst's passing was a shock, he was arguably the country's best, if not most ferocious drummer and was essential to the manic and frenetic power of Midnight Oil performances.

Too early and smacks of content overload. Love your channel a lot, but a bit of space sometimes.

Nedra Talley of the Ronnettes was born in 1946. Got the age right though, just a typo on her first name and the birth year mixed up.

Well, my friend it has to be Tommie DeCarlo, from Boston. Me, Tommie, and his brother Phil all attended the same high school. I graduated with Tommie's older brother Phil…..It was a shock to see he past…..😎✌️😞

Wow! That's a lot people… Good of you to mention a fellow Montrealer, "Al Gunn from Men Without Hats".

David Brigati is not to be confused with his younger brother Eddie Brigati, who was one of the lead singers of the Rascals. David was mainly a backup singer.

I don't believe John Rees is dead. There was a story this year, but I believe it was someone with the same name and not the bassist for Men at Work.

Painful. Bobby Weir was “The Kid,” just 17 when the Dead started that long strange trip in ‘65 and just 16 in its predecessor jug band.

There is an astonishing clip on Youtube of David Clayton Thomas appearing on Tom Jones American TV show in about 1970. It's turns into a virtual sing -off between two mesmerising vocal talents !

Every year, more of the deceased are younger than me. And I feel a little chill each time.

I didn't know Ike died… goosebumps… used to listen to Zappa all the time, and it seems not a single word was said – RIP sir, you gave me a lot of joy
