While there are tragedies in the music scene such as the birth of Justin Bieber which pronounced the end of pop music or the coming of the Gaga, the music industry has suffered tragic losses as well. Immense talent has been lost throughout the centuries due to illnesses, freak accidents, plane crashes, murders and commonly drug overdoses. Music will move on, but these lost souls should not be forgotten as they did much for the development of music when they were alive and we mourn the loss of what they could have done if they had been. Mozart heads the list as I believe these composers are the ones who laid the foundation for the entire industry. Therefore, here is the list of the musicians who died too young.
