European zodiac sign Pisces
Dates: 2013-02-19 -2013-03-20
The four Elements and their Signs are distributed as follows: Fire(Aries, Leo and Sagittarius), Earth(Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn), Air(Gemini, Libra and Aquarius) and Water(Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces). Since the elements help to describe the main character traits of a person, by including them in our horoscope, they help to form a more complete picture of a particular person.
Features of this element are cold and humidity, metaphysical sensitivity, feeling, perception. There are 3 signs of this quality in the Zodiac - a water trine (triangle): Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces. The Water trine is considered the trine of feelings and sensations. Principle: internal constancy despite external variability. Water is emotions, inner peace, preservation, memory. She is plastic, changeable, secretive. Gives such qualities as uncertainty, daydreaming, imaginative thinking, gentleness of manifestation. It slows down metabolism in the body, controls fluids and the work of endocrine glands.
People whose horoscopes express the element of Water have a phlegmatic temperament. These people have great sensitivity, are very receptive and impressionable, thinking, living more inner life than external. People of the Water trine are usually contemplative, thinking both about their own good and the good of their loved ones, however, at times they can be indifferent, lethargic, and lazy, with the exception of people of the Scorpio sign. Their external manifestation of feelings is not as pronounced as that of representatives of the Fire or Air trigons, but they experience internal feelings with great strength and depth.
For people of the Water trine, efficiency, practicality, sobriety of thought, and objectivity are not their strong points, but they are not short of imagination, they have a rich and vivid imagination, great internal and external strength, especially among Scorpios.
People of the water trine due to their wealth inner world and sophistication of perception, the greatest success is achieved in professions related to the world of arts, they especially shine as artists and performing musicians. Water signs can also be excellent workers in areas related to service and nutrition. And Scorpios are also excellent detectives due to their exquisite intuition.
The plans and moods of people of the Water trine can change both from external circumstances and from the internal state of the soul. A minor detail, sometimes not even tracked by consciousness, can radically change their state of mind, which can lead to a complete loss of interest either in the matter or in the partner.
People of the element of Water have great spiritual sophistication, are kind, polite, courteous, very attractive and attractive. They are usually not aggressive, with the exception of Scorpio.
Of the signs of the Water trine, Scorpio is the strongest in body and spirit, the most meaningful, the most aggressive, not susceptible to unwanted influence from the outside and showing strong resistance to everything with which his soul does not agree. His patience, endurance, tenacity and perseverance are simply amazing.
The weakest of the zodiac signs of the Water trine is Pisces. The middle ground between firmness and instability is occupied by the third sign of this trine - Cancer. Although his spiritual sphere is also very receptive and impressionable, he is distinguished by noticeable perseverance, endurance and purposefulness, therefore, of all the water signs, it is Cancer who more often than others achieves success in life.
The feelings of all three signs of the Water trine are approximately equally strong and, as a rule, prevail over the mind. These people are always ready to make self-sacrifice for the good of a loved one, as they always experience deep and pure feelings towards their loved ones. If they are not appreciated, they leave their partner forever, which is the real drama of life for them. They are looking for a partner who is worthy of them. Love and marriage are of paramount importance in life for them, especially for women.
An excessive tendency towards daydreaming and fantasies, too vivid an imagination can lead to internal contradiction - a collision of their illusions with reality. If a person does not see a way out of this state, depression, addiction to alcohol, drugs, other stimulants, and even mental illness may occur.
Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces. The mutable cross is the cross of reason, connection, adaptation, distribution. The main quality is the transformation of ideas. He is always here and now, that is, in the present. It gives mobility, flexibility, adaptability, flexibility, duality. People in whose horoscopes the Sun, Moon or most of the personal planets are in mutable signs have diplomatic abilities. They have a flexible mind and subtle intuition. They are usually very careful, prudent, vigilant and constantly in a state of anticipation, which helps them adapt to any situation. The main thing for them is to have information. When they feel not very competent or informed in any matter, they are excellent at evading and dodging everyone and everything, although they are considered the most knowledgeable of the entire Zodiac. They are sociable, courteous, talkative, and interesting conversationalists. They easily and skillfully give up positions, admit their mistakes and blunders, and agree with their opponents and interlocutors. People with a mutable cross strive for internal harmony, agreement, mediation and cooperation, but are subject to strong internal anxiety and outside influence. Their greatest passion is curiosity, which forces them to be in constant motion. Their views and worldview are rather unstable and depend on the environment. They often lack their own point of view. This partly explains the reasons for their imbalance and inconstancy, the changes in their lives. The true goals and plans of these people are difficult to predict, but they almost accurately guess the plans of others. They take advantage of every opportunity that can bring them benefit or profit, and skillfully manage to circumvent the blows of fate. People with a mutable cross are born realists. To achieve their goal, they use numerous friends, acquaintances, neighbors, relatives, co-workers, even strangers. Life crises are easily experienced and quickly forgotten. If there is no direct path to life goal, then they will take a roundabout path, thinking through every step, avoiding all visible sharp corners, avoiding all pitfalls. What helps them is their natural cunning and slyness, flattery and deception, and ability to deceive. Mutable signs will help out of any abnormal, unusual situation; such a situation will not make them nervous, they will only feel their element, in which they can finally act. At the same time, their psyche and nervous system are very unstable. Serious obstacles can quickly incapacitate them, unsettle them and delay the achievement of their goals. In this case, they do not resist, but go with the flow.
Pisces is the last sign of the Zodiac, it is the element of Water in the transformation zone and a sign formed under the vibrations of Neptune. The second ruler of Pisces is Jupiter. In Pisces, the manifestations of the element of Water are expressed dually; at the external level, Pisces has Water, and at the internal level, Fire begins to sound. If you were born under the sign of Pisces, then you are passive by nature, very sensitive, and you take all the blows of fate to heart.
Sometimes you are very susceptible to external influence, extremely dependent on someone else’s will, on someone else’s point of view, on the ideology that is currently being introduced into your consciousness. You are very easy to get carried away, you subtly and clearly feel the rhythm, literally on an intuitive level. Therefore, music has a very strong effect on you.
In the lowest case, you fall into a trance from the music, and in the highest case, on the wave of the musical flow, you soar to the heights of spirituality and cosmic love, which largely pours out on us through the musical flow.
You are very gentle and sentimental. Situations where you are understood are very important to you in life. As a rule, you suffer greatly from misunderstanding. You are very empathetic and need someone who will
understood and, to some extent, guided you. You are very vulnerable, easily become despondent, but, on the other hand, you are capable of self-denial and self-sacrifice. In case of high development, it is you who can give the last.
Of your essential qualities, we should note a secret, subconscious, and sometimes obvious desire for mystery, for everything mysterious. Therefore you can be an occultist. Astrology is also secret, occult knowledge, and you should not be surprised that you can come to astrology. You can also be a great actor because you have empathy. At your worst, you are perhaps the most unscrupulous person in the entire Zodiac, since Pisces is, in a sense, the last sign of the Zodiac, it is a mirror reflecting the worst and best traits of all other signs.
At best, you are like a mirror that shows each sign of the Zodiac its true face, face, face, muzzle - depending on who has what. In the worst case, you are like a sewer of the entire Zodiac, into which each sign dumps its impurities. But you are very patient and are able to take on impurities, thereby cleansing other people, while you yourself know how to quickly cleanse yourself of everything that was poured on you. In this case, if you are a higher, developed Pisces. If we talk about the worst manifestations, then these are, as has already been said, meanness, unprincipledness, susceptibility to any influence, a lack of criticality in the mind at all. These people are capable of displaying the most vile human qualities. Of course, even the lowest and meanest Pisces will be tormented by remorse. But if “the lesson was not useful,” he will continue his vile deeds. Among Pisces there are many alcoholics and drug addicts. The essential quality of Pisces is perception, that is, complete disclosure and transmission of the flow of life through itself. Pisces adapt very easily to any environment.
Talented people often die too early. Perhaps it’s all about a special mental organization that requires a lot of physical and moral strength. Today we will talk about Soviet people who passed away in their youth. Let’s also remember the outstanding artists and directors who left us in 2017.
When it comes to Soviet actors who died too early, two names come to mind: Oleg Dal and Vladimir Vysotsky. These were amazingly talented people. During their short career in cinema and theater, they did more than many of their colleagues did in their long, measured and correct lives.
Oleg Dal
The Soviet actor, who died at the age of 39, had a reputation as a disgraced figure. Several films with his participation were banned. He himself was restricted from traveling abroad for ten years. Oleg Dal often clashed with directors, refusing to play in performances that, in his opinion, were far from real art.
He abused alcohol, but tried to overcome himself. He had a bad heart, but despite this, he worked hard. The actor passed away on March 3, 1981. The heart attack, according to one version, was triggered by alcohol consumption. Latest films with the participation of Oleg Dal: “Uninvited Guest”, “We Stared Death in the Face”, “Vacation in September”.
Vladimir Vysotsky
The death of the singer-songwriter and actor, who passed away during the Olympics in Moscow, shocked the whole country. There is a version that Vladimir Vysotsky had a presentiment of his imminent death. It was thanks to him that the filming of the film “The Meeting Place Cannot Be Changed” began. He really wanted to play main role in this film. But when work on the painting began, he tried to refuse - he realized that he had very little left.
The actor, who passed away in 1981, was doomed, according to doctors. For many years he suffered from alcohol addiction. Shortly before his death, he found a way to “treat” a terrible illness. Vysotsky began to use drugs. Doctors predicted his death either from withdrawal or from an overdose. The actor died in his Moscow apartment on Malaya Gruzinskaya on July 25. He died in his sleep as a result of a heart attack. The Soviet press kept silent about the death of the people's favorite, however, several thousand people came to the funeral. The performance with the participation of Vysotsky at the Taganka Theater was canceled, but not a single person returned the ticket to the box office.
Death on stage and behind the scenes
Actors who died too early are Andrei Mironov and Yuri Bogatyrev. The first one suffered the death that many artists dream of. Andrei Mironov died on stage.
Yuri Bogatyrev was an extremely talented, versatile actor. Any images were subject to him. In addition, Bogatyrev painted pictures. True, the first exhibition of his works took place after his death. He was very lonely. Like many people in the arts, the actor became addicted to alcohol. Yuri Bogatyrev died at the age of 41 from a heart attack caused by drinking alcohol and incompatible antidepressants.
Soviet actors who died young: Nikita Mikhailovsky, Yan Puzyrevsky, Igor Nefedov, Alexey Fomkin, Irina Metlitskaya, Maria Zubareva, Elena Mayorova. Some of them played only two or three roles in films. Nevertheless, they were remembered by the audience forever.
Nikita Mikhailovsky
Actor Soviet cinema, who passed away at the age of 27, became famous in 1981 for his role in the film “You Never Even Dreamed of...”. Nikita Mikhailovsky was predicted to have a brilliant future, but fame, oddly enough, weighed heavily on him. He left cinema for several years. He was engaged in painting and became one of the most active figures in the semi-underground culture of Leningrad. Closer to the 90s, he played in several more films: “Accelerator”, “For the Sake of a Few Lines”, “Umbrella for the Newlyweds”. Mikhailovsky starred with such outstanding actors as Vera Glagoleva, Alexey Karachentsov.
Perhaps there would be many wonderful roles in his filmography today. But in 1990, the actor was diagnosed with leukemia.

Buried in St. Petersburg.

Maria Zubareva was diagnosed with cancer at the age of thirty. She passed away in November 1993.
Yan Puzyrevsky

He took his son in his arms and jumped out of the window with them. The apartment of his ex-wife was on the twelfth floor. The child, fortunately, survived. Puzyrevsky fell to his death.
Alexey Fomkin
All schoolchildren of the Soviet Union knew and loved him. Alexei Fomkin, a film actor who passed away at the age of 26, was ruined by fame. He began his creative journey with filming in "Jumble". Then he auditioned for a role in the film "Scarecrow". But he didn’t get to play in this film. Alexey was invited to play the main role in the science fiction film, which became the most popular in the 80s - “Guest from the Future”.
The trouble is that fame does not mean being in demand. Fomkin was no longer invited to the cinema, and after graduating from school he joined the army. He never received a matriculation certificate due to frequent filming. When he returned from the army, he tried to work at the Moscow Art Theater, but was soon fired.
Alexey Fomkin left Moscow. He lived for some time in the village in an empty house, worked as a miller, and got married. The famous Soviet actor, who played the role of Moscow schoolboy Kolya Gerasimov in the legendary film, died in February 1996. The cause of death is an accident.

In the mid-nineties, the actress was diagnosed with leukemia. She passed away on June 5, 1997. She was buried at the Troekurovsky cemetery.
Elena Mayorova
The biographies of many talented actors who died early have one common detail. The date of death is in the nineties. Not surprising. Lack of work, lack of employment, a feeling of unfulfillment - all this leads to the development of heart disease and mental disorders. However, the death of Elena Mayorova remains a mystery today.
She was born into a family that had nothing to do with theatrical art. I entered GITIS on my second attempt. She began acting in films in 1980. In the 80s, the actress married a fashionable, wealthy artist. True, his paintings stopped selling after the collapse of the USSR. However, Elena Mayorova, even during the years of the economic crisis, did not remain without work. She was known to all theatergoers in Moscow. She was invited to the cinema quite often.

According to the official version, the actress died in an accident.
Evgeny Dvorzhetsky

The actor was quite in demand. He played in the films “A Tender Age”, “Day of Wrath”, “Two Hussars”, “Defeat”, “Mikhailo Lomonosov” and others. In addition, he participated in productions and hosted television programs.
On December 1, 1999, the actor, returning from the Institute of Immunology in his car, violated traffic rules. As a result, his car collided with a ZIL. Dvorzhetsky died on the spot from his injuries. The actor, like many of his other colleagues, is buried at the Vagankovskoye cemetery. He was only 39 years old.

None of them lived to be forty years old. Famous actors who passed away in 2017, but managed to do a lot for domestic cinema, are A. Petrenko, A. Batalov, V. Tolokonnikov, V. Glagoleva, G. Taratorkin, D. Maryanov. First, let's talk about celebrities whose lives were tragically cut short in the early 2000s.
Sergei Bodrov Jr.
Fame came to the actor in the mid-nineties, when he played the main role in Alexei Balabanov's film "Brother". His film character Danila Bagrov became almost folk hero. Sergei Bodrov starred in the films “I Hate You”, “Stringer”, “East-West”, “Sisters”, “War”. He made his debut as a director in 2001. A year later, as part of a film crew, Bodrov went to the mountains from Vladikavkaz. The work went on all day. When it got dark, the filmmakers headed back to the city.

Dmitry Egorov
In preparation for the filming of the film “Scarecrow,” Rolan Bykov for a long time could not find a young actor to play the role of the boy who betrayed the main character.

Dmitry Egorov passed away in 2002 at the age of 32. The official cause of death is heart failure.
Vladislav Galkin
Which actors died under unclear circumstances? Answering this question, it is worth mentioning the name of Vladislav Galkin first of all.

Georgy Taratorkin
Almost half a century ago, a young and unknown actor was invited to the film “Crime and Punishment” to play the role of Rodion Raskolnikov. This is where his brilliant path to cinema began. Taratorkin played in the films "A Purely English Murder", "Little Tragedies", "Rich Man, Poor Man...", "Moonlight Rainbow", "The Last Report", "Mysterious Passion". He is known to the younger generation of Russian dividers for his role in the TV series “Don’t Be Born Beautiful.” The outstanding actor played on the stage of the Mossovet Theater for many years. In 1984 he received the title people's artist. Georgy Taratorkin passed away on February 4 after a long illness.
Vladimir Tolokonnikov
This actor performed his famous role at the age of 45. Until 1988, Vladimir Tolokonnikov was known only in his hometown Alma-Ata. Here he worked for many years in the local theater. Before director Bortko invited an unknown actor to play the role of Sharikov in the film adaptation of Bulgakov’s story, he played only two roles in films. After the premiere he became known throughout the country. Later he played in the films “Dreams of Idiots”, “The Sky in Diamonds”, “Citizen Chief”, “Hottabych”. But not a single role could overshadow Sharikov’s colorful image.
Vladimir Tolokonnikov died on July 16, 2017. His heart stopped on the set while working on the film "Super Beavers".
Alexey Batalov
His actor career began during the war. While evacuated in the city of Bugulma, Batalov appeared on stage for the first time. He was only 13 years old then. Young artist played a small role in his mother's play. Fame came to Alexei Batalov, of course, much later. Namely, in 1957, when the film “The Cranes Are Flying” was released. This is one of the best war films of the Soviet period.
Vera Glagoleva
The future actress was born in Moscow into a family of teachers. As a child, she was fond of archery and was a master of sports. For the first time, Glagoleva acted in films immediately after graduating from school. It was 1974, the film was called "To the End of the World." Three years later, Glagoleva played the role of Varya in A. Efros’s film “On Thursday and Never Again.” The director was so impressed by the performance of the non-professional actress that he invited her to work at his theater on Malaya Bronnaya. However, Glagoleva listened to her husband R. Nakhapetov and refused, which she later regretted.
She acted in films a lot, despite the absence vocational education. In the nineties, she tried herself as a director, directing the film “Broken Light.” This was followed by the films “Order” (2005), “Ferris Wheel” (2006), “One War” (2010), “Two Women” (2014).
The artist also played in the theater and was the head of the MITRO theater department. In March 2017, she began filming a new film, “Clay Pit,” which was scheduled for release next summer.
August 16, 2017 Russian funds mass media reported the death of Vera Glagoleva in a German clinic. She was 61 years old. It turned out that the artist was being treated there for stomach cancer. Only close people knew about Glagoleva’s illness, so the news came as a shock to many colleagues and fans of the actress. Glagoleva was buried at the Troekurovsky cemetery.
The days before the New Year are a good reason to take stock, remembering the songs and records you listened to, the concerts you attended... and which you will never go to again. Loss account in musical world, alas, has become as commonplace as Grammy nominations and induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame..
John Wetton
The sad list began on January 31, when bass guitarist and singer John Wetton, a member of such famous bands as King Crimson, Roxy Music, Uriah Heep, UK, Wishbone Ash and, of course, Asia, died in a Bournemouth hospice from bowel cancer. He worked intermittently from 1980 until his death: a fatal illness prevented him from taking part in the next tour. And the composition “Heat Of The Moment”, performed by him on his first album Asia, became not only his most famous hit, but also a kind of symbol of the 80s, as bright as they were controversial.
Al Jarreau
Less than two weeks after Wetton, another living legend passed away - this time of jazz music. Vocalist Al Jarreau, like Wetton, continued to work until last days- On February 8, he was hospitalized in Los Angeles and was forced to cancel all concerts for the rest of the tour and his participation in the Montreux Jazz Academy. And just a few days later, the famous singer died: the cause of his death was problems with breathing and heart, which were probably a consequence of severe pneumonia suffered five years earlier. Over the 76 years of his life, Jerro became a Grammy winner seven times, and one of the first compositions that attracted attention to him was a version of the famous Dave Brubeck hit “Take Five”, which turned from an instrumental number into a vocal one, and flavored with an unforgettable scat and invariably artistic performance .
“When I hear cool rock of the caliber of Chuck Berry, I forget about everything in the world - even if the world falls into tartarar, I don’t care. Rock and roll is my disease. And if you wanted to come up with another name for rock and roll, it should be called “Chuck Berry,” said John Lennon, introducing his idol on the Mike Douglas show. Alas, Chuck's best years were in the fifties, but the "British Invasion", whose participants strongly idolized one of the main rock and roll leaders, gave his music new life. They didn’t forget it later: remember one of the most striking episodes of “Back to the Future”, where supposedly cousin Chuck Marvin Berry calls him and offers him his future hit performed by Marty McFly? In the 90s, the musician focused on concert activities: until 2014, he performed weekly at his Blueberry Hill club in St. Louis and occasionally went on tour, visiting Moscow several times. On March 18, Chuck Berry died of cardiac arrest, having lived for more than 90 years, but just a few months later the album “Chuck” was released, and the video for the song “Big Boys” vividly recalled the golden days of rock and roll.

The Italian DJ and composer, who became one of the symbols of the dream house style in the nineties, died of cancer on the island of Ibiza at just 47 years old. “Teenagers are like airplanes: the only ones you know are the ones that crash,” Eisenhower once said, and the same can be said of stars whose fame is long past their peak. There is probably no person in the world or in Russia who listened to music in the 90s and did not hear the amazing “Children” or other compositions from “Dreamland”, where electronic sound is amazingly combined with lyricism and touching visuals. Robert Miles did not have to overcome the peak that was taken then, but that is why it is a peak because it can be climbed only once.
Soundgarden, Audioslave and Temple Of The Dog singer Chris Cornell was found with a noose around his neck at Detroit's MGM Grand after a Soundgarden performance in Detroit: doctors agreed that sedatives and medications, found in his body, were not the cause of death, but could have influenced the musician’s decision to die. Over the course of 52 years, Cornell went from drummer to singer to guitarist and from an unknown grunge musician to a man whose Temple of the Dog project was called “deserving of immortality” in the famous Rolling Stone. And yet, his main brainchild was the group Soundgarden, whose second album was released on the A&M Records label, and the third - “Superunknown” - contained a song that became as much a symbol of the 90s as best songs Nirvana

The permanent leader, keyboardist and singer of one of the most influential groups of southern rock, the Allman Brothers Band, died in a hospice in Richmond Hill, Georgia from complications associated with developed liver cancer. Before this, the musician suffered hepatitis C, and in 2010, a liver transplant, but the illnesses did not force him to quit music. In October 2016, Gregg Allman gave his last concert, and after the musician’s death, his last album, “Southern Blood,” was released, which almost entirely consisted of cover versions, but received good reviews from critics. "Gregg wanted to put out an album that was a reflection on his life and its meaning, for both his fans and himself," explained producer Don Was.
Many people associate the music of the sixties primarily with The Beatles and other overseas stars, but the USSR of those same years also had its own, no less interesting performers, some of whom are now undeservedly forgotten, while others, on the contrary, enjoy long-standing and well-deserved love. One of them was Tamara Miansarova: on the one hand, such hits as “Black Cat”, “Ryzhik”, “Top-Top”, on the other - “Kokhaniy” and “Come Back to Me”, sounding with almost fatal force. In later years, Miansarova taught vocals at GITIS, but a fracture of the femoral neck confined her to bed, and pneumonia put an end to her not short, but certainly bright life.
Exactly two months after the death of Chris Cornell, Linkin Park singer Chester Bennington committed suicide. Like Chris, he decided to die with a noose and did not leave any suicide note, but a half-empty wine bottle was found in the room. On May 19, Linkin Park performed on Jimmy Kimmel, dedicating the song “One More Light” to Cornell’s memory. Vocalist Mike Shinoda recalls that Bennington was so shocked by the loss of his friend that he could not contain himself during the performance. Bennington’s death also came as a bolt from the blue for fans: a video later appeared on YouTube in which the singer is fooling around with his family and does not look depressed or tired of life at all, and he only has 36 hours to live.
“He waves his hand at those who come in,
And puts on a Steely Dan CD -
Oh yes, this is the most fashionable group
District city N".
Whether Mike Naumenko loved the group, of which guitarist and bassist Walter Becker was an integral part, is not known for certain, but any rock fan cannot and should not pass by the series of magnificent albums it released from 1972 to 1980. In addition, Becker released two excellent solo albums, reunited with Steely Dan colleague Donald Fagen in the 2000s, twice adding to the legendary group’s discography, and continued touring with its new lineup until the end of May 2017, when he was diagnosed with laryngeal cancer. Longtime member of Steely Dan died on September 3: in a statement to the press, Donald Fagen promised that the music created by him and his partner “will live as long as I live.” And yet, the group’s golden days remained in the 70s, when originality and the ability to combine seemingly the most unexpected harmonies in music ruled the roost.
“Wherever the wind blows, that’s where we fly. We never tried to play it safe or work to a formula. It would be boring. The idea is to take a group of people, keep them together no matter what happens, and see what kind of music comes out. And we are still interested,” said the leader The group The Heartbreakers, who played rootsy American music during the era of pervasive punk rock and suddenly found a second wind in the 80s. If for many the eighties became a time of flat sound and simplification, then the songs of Tom Petty under the direction of former Electric Light Orchestra leader Jeff Lynne struck on the spot even those who did not particularly listen to his early music. He remained just as impressive until the very end, playing his last show on September 25 at the famous Hollywood Bowl. And the news of his sudden death from cardiac arrest came as a shock to many - even if he was not as popular as his colleagues in the Traveling Wilburys George Harrison, Roy Orbison, the same Bob Dylan and Jeff Lynne, but the best of his songs really helped not to walk on the ground, but soar.

Antoine Dominique Domino, nicknamed “Fatty” (Fats), does not really fit into the role of the king of rock and roll: the obese African American preferred the piano to the guitar and played relatively calmly, in contrast to the violent Jerry Lee Lewis. However, it was his composition “The Fat Man” that sold over a million copies in 1950 and still remains one of the main contenders for the title of the first rock and roll recording. And in 1958-1960, the circulation of Fats' records in the United States exceeded the circulation of Elvis Presley. “Blueberry Hill” was covered and replayed by everyone, it seems, from Little Richard to Vladimir Putin, and “Ain’t That A Shame” was recorded independently by John Lennon and Paul McCartney. In 2005, Fats refused to evacuate New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina, and could have responded to rumors of his death with the well-known words of Mark Twain. Two years later, he gave a concert that turned out to be his last, and on October 24 of this year he passed away at the age of 89, outliving most of his colleagues from the glorious era of the 50s.
Lil Peep
Gustav Ohr, known in the music world under the pseudonym Lil Peep, was one of the first to combine emo, rap and post-hardcore styles in his music. In 2015, Lil Peep released his first mixtape, “Lil Peep Part One,” racking up four thousand plays on SoundCloud in its first week and soon learned the downside of success when he began using cocaine and alprazolam. On August 15 of this year, the musician released the album “Come Over When You’re Sober” and on October 2 began a tour in support of it. The tour was supposed to end on November 16, but literally on the eve of this date, Lil Peep died right in the trailer due to an overdose of heroin and fentanyl: the artist’s friends immediately called the police and an ambulance, but they could not save him. Shortly before the rapper’s death, the magazine “ The New The York Times noted that over the past 24 months, Lil Peep has "morphed into something like a stage Kurt Cobain, with several surprisingly dark and devilishly melodic releases" - well, the drug game ended as predictably for Peep as it did for Cobain.
Malcolm Young
2017 was literally fatal for the family that gave the world the group AC/DC: on October 22, the group’s producer and leader of the beat group The Easybeats, George Young, passed away, and less than a month later, one of the co-founders of AC/DC, rhythm, died -guitarist Malcolm Young, who has suffered from dementia since 2014. Throughout his career, Malcolm remained in the shadows younger brother, the hooligan virtuoso Angus, but the group’s last album, recorded without him, entitled “Rock Or Bust,” clearly demonstrated that the dense rhythmic swing of his older brother was not only an accessory to the style, but also an irreplaceable part of the overall sound, without which, perhaps, there would be no group.
On June 24, 2015, an announcement appeared on Hvorostovsky’s official website about the cancellation of the singer’s performances until the end of the summer due to a brain tumor diagnosed in him. The singer decided to undergo treatment at the Royal Marsden Cancer Clinic in London: reflecting on the causes of the disease, he recalled his sudden depression, apathy, “black perception of the world,” pessimism and unwillingness to live.
At the end of September 2015, the singer resumed his concert activities, appearing on stage with Anna Netrebko at the New York Metropolitan Opera, and also continued to perform in Russia and abroad, but in the fall of 2016, due to undergoing a course of chemotherapy, he canceled the performance in the play "Simon Boccanegra", which premiered on September 30 at the Vienna Opera. After completing the course of treatment, on his birthday, October 16, the singer performed on the stage of the Old Opera in Frankfurt. For a long time he managed to combine treatment and touring activities, but on the afternoon of November 22, 2017, Hvorostovsky’s family released a statement saying that “after a two and a half year battle with brain cancer, he died peacefully this morning, November 22, with his family near his home in London".
“He showed the French what rock and roll was. He is one of those about whom you can say - real beast on the stage. He's just incredible. People of all ages love him,” the press wrote about the man who received the nickname “French Elvis.” Born Jean-Philippe Smet, he went down in music history as the first person to perform rock music on French back in the fifties: yes, it sounds somehow wrong for those accustomed to “real rock,” but who said it was bad? In 1997, French President Jacques Chirac recognized his services with the Legion of Honor, and current President Emmanuel Macron sent the family of the rocker, who died of lung cancer, a telegram of condolences. “There is a little Johnny in each of us,” it said.
Approaching New Year, and with it the corresponding holidays. Fun is fun, but as we say goodbye to the old year, we must not forget about those who left us over the past 12 months. More full list can be viewed on the Billboard magazine website. And here we remember some of them.
Together with Angus Young, Malcolm founded AC/DC back in 1973, when the former was 18 and the latter was 20. The band was born in Australia, but a few years later they moved to the UK, where success came to them.
IN last time Malcolm performed with the band at the final show of the Black Ice tour in Bilbao in 2010. In April 2014, due to health problems, he officially stopped participating in the group. In September 2014, Malcolm Young's family confirmed that he was suffering from dementia. An unnamed source close to the Young family said: "If you were in the room with him, left and came back a minute later, he wouldn't remember who you are. He has completely lost his short-term memory.” In a statement released in 2014 by AC/DC, which was timed to coincide with the release of their 16th studio album, Rock Or Bust, it was said, among other things, about the fate of Malcolm’s continued participation in the band’s work: “Unfortunately, due to Malcolm’s condition, he will not return to the group." For AC/DC's 2015 tour, Malcolm was also replaced by Stevie Young.
On November 18, 2017, after a long illness, Young died surrounded by his family, outliving his older brother George by just a month.
He was called one of the first musicians of the post-emo revival, and his style of performing hip-hop became known as emo trap. At the age of 17, Gustav Ohr (the musician's real name) moved from New York to Los Angeles in order to pursue his musical career. There he joined the Gothboiclique team and became one of the first to combine emo and rap. Lil Peep's music tends to be influenced by Southern rap and post-hardcore. The New York Times Magazine noted that over the past 24 months, Lil Peep has "turned into Kurt Cobain in his performances, and has also released some surprisingly dark and devilishly melodic releases."
The musician used drugs and was addicted to cocaine and alprazolam. He regularly mentioned the topic of drugs in his texts and messages in in social networks. In one Instagram post, Gustav declared himself a "productive drug addict" and called for abstinence from drugs. In November 2017, Adam Grandmaison, a close friend of Ohr, reported that he was in the hospital due to a heroin and fentanyl overdose. After his hospitalization was reported, on November 15, Gustav's manager said that he had died as a result of an overdose. He was 21 years old.
After the artist’s death, his fans were able to identify the alleged killer, who supplied Ora with counterfeit Xanax.
Antoine Dominique Domino was an American pianist and vocalist, one of the founders of rock and roll. Winner of the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award and one of the greatest musicians of the rock and roll era according to Rolling Stone magazine.
Fats Domino started playing the piano at age 7. The musician developed his own style under the influence of pianists Albert Ammons, Mead Lu Lewis and Little Willie Littlefield, who played boogie-woogie in the post-war years. Working with professional musicians Lee Allen, Alvin Tyler and drummer Earl Palmer, Domino and Bartholomew laid the foundations for New Orleans rhythm and blues. In the mid-1950s, Little Richard made several recordings with these musicians. The song "The Fat Man" sold over a million copies in 1950 and brought worldwide attention to the good-natured fat man with a funny Southern accent. This song remains one of the main contenders for the title of the first rock and roll recording.
Fats Domino ranks 69th on the list of the best-selling artists of all time. The circulation of his discs is approaching two hundred million, reissues and collections are published annually. Despite his age (he was born in 1928), Domino continued to be active creative activity and in the 2000s. He gave his last concert in 2007. He died in October 2017 at the age of 89.
Petty decided to pursue a career in music after attending The Ed Sullivan Show, where he first saw The Beatles perform in 1964. According to the musician, the event changed his whole life. He and his band The Heartbreakers appeared on the horizon of American rock music in 1976, when they released their self-titled album. The musician's first success came in Great Britain, where critics classified him as a “new wave,” while Petty himself insisted that his work was a logical continuation of the legacy of The Byrds and The Rolling Stones.
Throughout its long musical career Petty managed to collaborate with Stevie Nicks, Bob Dylan, George Harrison, Roy Orbison, producer Rick Rubin and many, many others. He was also a music video pioneer, one of the first musicians to shoot videos for his singles.
On October 2, 2017, Petty was found unconscious in his Malibu home. Doctors determined that he had suffered a complete cardiac arrest. The musician was taken to the hospital, after which he was connected to a life support system. CBS reports that the decision was subsequently made to shut down the system.
Chester Bennington was born on March 20, 1976 in Phoenix, Arizona, the son of a police detective. He was 11 years old when his parents divorced, and it affected him greatly. As a teenager, he began drinking and using every drug he could get his hands on. At the age of 17, he began participating in various groups, recording albums and actively performing.
At the very end of the 90s, he was a classic loser, selling hamburgers and already thinking about quitting music. However, due to the sudden success of Linkin Park, at the age of 23 he turned into a superstar and a millionaire, dominating the minds of millions of teenagers.
Bennington had a serious and long-standing drug problem. However, he had a family and incredible popularity. For fans of the band and those simply following the music, with all the deaths of musicians over the past year and a half, Bennington’s departure was truly shocking.
On July 20, 2017, Chester Bennington was found dead in his home in Los Angeles. The cause of death was suicide by hanging. A half-empty bottle of alcohol was found in Chester's room. Bennington did not leave any suicide note.
Gregg Allman was an American singer and musician. He was best known as the lead vocalist, keyboardist (organist) and songwriter of The Allman Brothers Band, founded by his brother Duane.
Allman was also known for his solo recordings and performances, and was quite successful in doing so. His most successful solo song, "I'm No Angel," peaked at number 49 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1987. As music critics note, Gregg's solo work is more "soulful" than those recorded with the group, and, according to in the words of the AllMusic website, “not so focused on multi-watt virtuosity.” Rolling Stone magazine included Gregg Allman in its list of the "100 Greatest Singers of All Time" (ranked 70th).
The Allman Brothers band used elements of blues, hard rock and country in their music. They are considered the founders of the so-called “southern rock” - a special subgenre whose origins lie in music popular in the southern states of the United States. The team has released 11 studio albums. In 1995, the group was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Allman died at age 69 at home in Savannah, Georgia. The cause of death was not indicated in the news, but last years Allman experienced health problems, which forced him to cancel concerts several times.
Soundgarden, along with Nirvana, Pearl Jam and Alice in Chains, had a huge influence on the development of American rock music in the early 90s, making grunge part of pop culture. In addition to Soundgarden, Cornell also sang in Audioslave and Temple of the Dog, and released several solo albums. In addition, his song appears on the soundtrack to the James Bond film "007: Casino Royale".
A huge number of musicians coming out of the Seattle scene at that time committed suicide or died from overdoses - this was the norm for the "lost" generation of the time. Cornell, according to those with whom he encountered, was always much more reserved and less like the classic “grunge suicidal.” However, for many years the musician suffered from chronic depression and depression.
On May 18, 2017, after a performance in Detroit, Cornell was found in a hotel bathroom. Forensic experts have confirmed that the Soundgarden frontman committed suicide by hanging himself.
In 2004, one of rock and roll's most influential early artists, Chuck Berry, was ranked No. 5 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 50 Greatest Artists of All Time. However, no ratings can reflect what Chuck Berry actually accomplished for music in his 90 years.
“Those who didn't live in a time before rock 'n' roll have no idea what it was like back then. It was terrible," said Motorhead's Lemmy Kilmister. But in the mid-1950s, Chuck Berry put an end to this horror. Berry was the first among a million rock and roll guitarists to come up with the basic guitar licks in this music. John Lennon said of him: “If you tried to give rock and roll another name, it would be Chuck Berry.”
Chuck Berry, as befits a rock and roll legend, went to prison several times (and even there he did not stop playing music), moreover, for the first time as a teenager. He didn’t care about a permanent lineup, at some point he got used to coming to a city and instantly hiring local musicians who would happily play along with his idol. He could afford to mix up his own songs at a concert. What difference does it make if he was the one who came up with all this?
People who appeared at his performances in recent years could not believe that a 90-year-old man, whom he would not dare call an old man, could have so much energy. Chuck Berry died at his home in St. Charles County, USA. And he managed to prove that rock and roll has no age.
First of all, Jaki Liebetzeit was known as the drummer of the band Can. Together with his colleagues Holger Szukay, Michael Karoly and Irmin Schmidt, he laid the foundations of krautrock - music that combined elements of jazz improvisation and avant-garde experimentation.
Szukai and Schmidt came to Can from avant-garde circles (both studied with Karlheinz Stockhausen and were friends with Steve Reich, La Monte Young and Terry Riley), while Jaki Liebzeit was formed as a jazz drummer and at the same time was seriously concerned with the ideological and philosophical basis of modern music. Biographies of Can report that it was Liebzeit who proposed that Can be considered an acronym and stand for "Communism, Anarchism, Nihilism."
In the early 1970s, Can made recordings that established krautrock as a concept. Jaki Liebzeit played a major role in its formation. He remained faithful to the jazz style of drumming, and it was in combination with this that the other members' improvisations and experiments with electronics revealed a completely new style that influenced the free musical forms of the future and at the same time showed the way to the cutting-edge pop musicians of the 1980s. For example, in 1981, Jaki Liebzeit and Holger Szukai took an active part in recording the debut album of the Eurythmics duo “In The Garden”.
Jaki Liebzeit provided a precise, mechanical rhythm that caused his colleagues to compare him to a metronome. Critics considered him a rare example of a drummer who combined a cold, mathematical approach to drumming with funk courage.
The musician died at the age of 79 from pneumonia. This happened in a dream, and he was surrounded by family and loved ones.
