The music world is reeling from the tragic losses of three iconic performers over the weekend. David Johansen, a legendary rocker who battled stage 4 cancer and a brain tumor, died on February 28 at home. He was 75. In a video posted just weeks before his death, Johansen expressed gratitude to fans for their support in raising money for his care.
Country music legend Joey Molland, the last surviving member of Badfinger, also passed away on Saturday after battling multiple health issues. He was 77. His girlfriend had started a GoFundMe campaign for him earlier this year due to his struggles with diabetes and septicemia.
R&B singer Angie Stone, who was nominated for several Grammy Awards, died in a car crash on March 1 while traveling back from Alabama to Atlanta. She was 63. Music producer Walter Millsap III reported that Stone was riding in a cargo van when it flipped over and was hit by a big rig, with everyone else in the vehicle surviving.
The news of their passing has sent shockwaves across the music world, with fans and fellow artists taking to social media to pay tribute to these legendary performers.
