10 greatest losses to the music industry in 2016

2016 was tough on the music scene. Many great and loved individuals were lost to us – some, far too young. Today we take a moment to remember 10 of these pioneers. They may be gone, but will never be forgotten. From singers to producers to promoters, this list encompasses multiple parts of the field.

As we all know, the music industry is hard. Not many people can say they truly "made it," or sincerely "left their mark" on the field. Each of the 10 inspiring individuals we will highlight here had the great honor of achieving these goals. From the international icon David Bowie, to the fringe promoter Billy Miller, each and every person here touched many lives.

So before we all toast to 2017 this weekend, let us take a moment to look back on some of our fallen.
