O'Day passed away in California at the age of 72.
I actually got to interview the guy.
1 week ago It seems that Billy Joel has always been around, doesn't it? Well, at one time, he was just a member of a band and he wasn't even lead vocalist.
One of the bands, the first one, was called "the Hassles" and they did actually release a couple of albums.

Keith Richards' memoir of his life and the life of the Rolling Stones revealed some things about the band and Mick Jagger that the frontman didn't care for. In a recent interview Jagger calls an apology from Richards a "prerequisite," while Richards shares he doesn't regret a thing.
3 weeks ago B.B. King may be 87 years old, but you won't ever any musician calling him "old school." He is B.B. King. No need to call him "awesome" or any of the other hyperbole attached to so many musicians. The man has influenced too many musicians to list in just one place and his place in popular music history has been established for decades.
A new documentary is in the works that will spotlight his career, his contributions and his famous fans all over the world.

Here they are performing the 'Game of Thrones' theme
