Carry on my wayward son...

So Dio is dead... why isn't this bigger news?

MJ goes, it's all you hear about for months, Patrick passes and there are a million 'ghost' jokes going round, even Farah was mentioned on the news, and she was overshadowed by Michael.

Has rock got so out of control that suddenly nobody cares? I mean, are we so used to rock stars dying that it's no longer newsworthy?

And this has set me thinking about several other amazing musicians who passed away before they were finished. So this post is dedicated to:

Johnny Cash
Kurt Cobain
Freddie Mercury
Keith Moon
And all the others (Just because I don't want to list them all, doesn't mean they're any less important.)

They left legacies that will not soon be forgotten, and inspired all those other singer, songwriters and musicians, in particular my hero Dave Grohl.

So to all the young kids with a talent who are trying to start a band, never give up, because we might just see another Jagger or Richards.

Keep rockin'
