David Bowie morreu há dez anos...

(...)
Na noite do dia 10 de janeiro, dois dias após o seu sexagésimo nono aniversário e o lançamento do álbum Blackstar, Bowie morreu, no seu apartamento em Nova York, vítima de cancro de fígado. O músico foi diagnosticado com a doença dezoito meses antes, mas optou não anunciar o seu estado de saúde para o público. O diretor de teatro belga Ivo van Hove, com quem trabalhou no musical Off-Broadway Lazarus, disse que Bowie evitou assistir aos ensaios pelo avanço da doença. Hove observou que David estava trabalhando constantemente durante o diagnóstico.
Tony Visconti, produtor musical de Bowie, disse:
Ele sempre fez o que quis. E ele queria fazer as coisas do jeito dele, e da melhor maneira possível. A sua morte não foi diferente da sua vida - uma obra de arte. Ele fez Blackstar para nós, é o seu presente final. Eu sabia por um ano que isso aconteceria dessa forma. Não estava, entretanto, preparado. Ele era um homem extraordinário, cheio de amor e vida. Ele sempre estará connosco. Por ora, é apropriado chorar.Após a morte de Bowie, fãs fizeram homenagens e memoriais. Foram distribuídas flores num mural de Brixton, sul de Londres, onde o cantor nasceu. A fotografia da capa do álbum Aladdin Sane serviu de ilustração, enquanto fãs cantavam as suas músicas. Outras homenagens ocorreram em Nova York, Los Angeles e Berlim. Bowie foi cremado em Nova York.

Peter Cox, vocalista dos Go West, celebra hoje setenta anos...!
Peter John Cox (Kingston upon Thames, 17 November 1955) is an English singer-songwriter, best known as the lead vocalist of the English pop duo Go West. As a solo artist, he scored three top 40 hits on the UK Singles Chart in the 1990s.
Early career and Go West
Peter John Cox sang in his school choir and later as a chorister at The Chapel Royal, Hampton Court Palace. In his early twenties, he worked in a cover band for the Mecca Organisation. In 1978, he joined Terra Nova, a band put together by former Manfred Mann's Earth Band members Chris Slade and Colin Pattenden; they released an album in 1980. While in residency in a Sheffield nightclub, Cox began writing with longtime collaborator Richard Drummie, with whom he eventually signed a publishing deal.
In 1982, Cox and Drummie formed the band Go West, with Cox as lead vocalist and Drummie on guitar and backing vocals. After Go West signed a deal with Chrysalis Records, "We Close Our Eyes" became a top 5 hit on the UK Singles Chart in 1985. Other Go West singles released that year included "Call Me" (1985) and "Don't Look Down". The following year, Go West was named 'Best Newcomer' at the 1986 Brit Awards.
In 1987, the band reached the top 40 in the US with the single "Don't Look Down – The Sequel". In 1990, Go West had a No. 8 hit in the US with "King of Wishful Thinking" from the film Pretty Woman. In 1992, the duo released their third studio album Indian Summer, which included "Faithful"; the song reached the top 20 in Canada and the United States.
Solo career
Cox moved to Los Angeles in 1993 to pursue a solo career. His self-titled debut studio album, Peter Cox, was released in 1997 to critical acclaim. Subsequent albums include Flame Still Burns (2001), Nine Miles High (2002), Desert Blooms (2002), Game for Fools (2005) and Motor City Music (2006). Cox also teamed up with Tony Hadley of Spandau Ballet on the album Tony Hadley vs Peter Cox & Go West, released in 2004.
In 2003, Cox replaced Then Jerico's Mark Shaw on the British reality television show Reborn in the USA after Shaw quit the series in the show's first few days. Even though Cox had achieved previous success across the Atlantic as the lead vocalist of Go West, he was able to appear on the show as he was unknown in the US as a solo artist. He was a favourite to win but was voted off in New York after he forgot the lyrics to the Norah Jones hit he was performing.
Other albums by Cox include The S1 Sessions (2010), Riding the Blinds (2012), and Damn the Brakes (2013).
Cox's voice has been described as "smooth as silk" with a "gritty underbelly".

Van Morrison nasceu há oitenta anos...!
Morrison began performing as a teenager in the late 1950s, playing a variety of instruments including guitar, harmonica, keyboards and saxophone for various Irish showbands, covering the popular hits of that time. Known as "Van the Man" to his fans, Morrison rose to prominence in the mid-1960s as the lead singer of the Northern Irish R&B band Them, with whom he wrote and recorded "Gloria", which became a garage band staple. His solo career started under the pop-hit oriented guidance of Bert Berns with the release of the hit single "Brown Eyed Girl" in 1967. After Berns's death, Warner Bros. Records bought Morrison's contract and allowed him three sessions to record Astral Weeks (1968). While initially a poor seller, the album has become regarded as a classic. Moondance (1970) established Morrison as a major artist, and he built on his reputation throughout the 1970s with a series of acclaimed albums and live performances.
Much of Morrison's music is structured around the conventions of soul music and early rhythm and blues. An equal part of his catalogue consists of lengthy, spiritually inspired musical journeys that show the influence of Celtic tradition, jazz and stream of consciousness narrative, such as the album Astral Weeks. The two strains together are sometimes referred to as "Celtic soul", and his music has been described as attaining "a kind of violent transcendence".
Morrison's albums have performed well in Ireland and the UK, with more than 40 reaching the UK top 40. He has scored top ten albums in the UK in four consecutive decades, following the success of 2021's Latest Record Project, Volume 1. Eighteen of his albums have reached the top 40 in the United States, twelve of them between 1997 and 2017. Since turning 70 in 2015, he has released – on average – more than an album a year. He has received two Grammy Awards, the 1994 Brit Award for Outstanding Contribution to Music, the 2017 Americana Music Lifetime Achievement Award for Songwriting and has been inducted into both the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Songwriters Hall of Fame. In 2016, he was knighted for services to the music industry and to tourism in Northern Ireland.
