And one of them, despite being one of the most deserving, has not been inducted into the rock and roll hall of fame.....despite obvious declining health for at least 3 years. Screw the HOF. Been there 5 times and will never again step foot in that phony craphole

Wrote, sang and toured for many decades

Was an Englishman who made America their second homeland and lived there until death.
Performed solo, with an established band, and with many collaborators across genres.
Produced an album right before their death, worked literally to the last day.

It's almost creepy. A year ago you wouldn't put those two names together in any list, but they were doppelgangers.

Ok..I'm sorry, but don't know who the other one is that you are describing? :confused:

Quote from that article dated 23 November 2015;

"That has led to rumors that Bowie, who underwent emergency heart surgery for a blocked artery after a show in Germany, is in failing health, but everyone involved with ★ insists that's not the case. "He's in fine health," says Visconti. "He's just made a very rigorous album.""

Both of them would have known at that stage this would be his last album

You would think so, but he may have kept it to himself and close family. Words from two people that were close to him:
