Is there a musical artist who had an untimely death, that whenever you hear their work, saddens you?

For me, it is this beautiful soul.

@theAlchemist Whoa, that's the Children of Bodom guy, right? I respected his ability and even have an album or two as I quite enjoyed the playing and music...just not the vocals. Wow I didn't even know he was dead. Clive Burr also was Maiden's best drummer hands down. Hands down. Great feel and you can tell Lars is influenced by him.

@SW-User Yes, Laiho was the founder and driving force of Children of Bodom - one of the best extreme metal bands the world has ever seen. He died around December 28 or 29 2020.
