Lost in 2016

[64Guitars]

Since "Lost in 2016" has won the poll for the Jan/Feb covers festival, I thought I'd create this topic to make a list of all the artists who passed away in 2016 which makes them eligible for this festival. If you know of any others that should be added, mention them in a reply to this topic and I'll add their names to the following list in this post.
