Description

Explore the complex connection between fame, popular music, and mortality with Death and the Rock Star. Part of the Ashgate Popular and Folk Music Series, this Routledge publication examines how the media handles the loss of iconic artists. From the high-profile deaths of Amy Winehouse and Whitney Houston to the digital resurrection of Tupac Shakur at Coachella, this book looks at how the public reacts to the passing of musical legends. As the lifestyle of 'sex, drugs and rock'n'roll' continues to impact the industry, the types of deaths and the societal responses to them have changed. This text provides a deep look into how the ranks of deceased musicians shape our cultural understanding of celebrity and music history. It is an essential read for those interested in the sociology of music and the cultural impact of pop icons.
