List any they may have forgot and I'm sure they left out some who deserve to be mentioned!! Sad when musicians I grew up with are being lost - and a bit frightening. Some may surprise you.

Lots more https://www.ranker.com/list/musicians-who-died-in-2020/calistylie

I was a working musician and songwriter for years and blessed to have met so many of the greats including Ella Fitzgerald at the Venetian Room. I of course did the musician's bow to her before the show backstage - and she laughed and said "Oh honey don't do that I'm a musician just like you." Sweetest and most talented musician alive - besides my Mum of course who sounded much like a young Ella. So many memories..........

RIP to all these musicians who have likely touched us all in some way and given us all so much happiness.

I'm a rocker so Neil Peart and EVH both really got to me. I've listened to thousands of hours of their bands music the last 40+ years. Knowing I will never have the opportunity to take my son to see either band makes me sad. Thank goodness for YouTube.
 
I agree about being shocked. I watched the R&R HOF induction and when the In Memoriam part came on I just sat there getting sadder with each frame.
